Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% synthetic staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, as mislabeling can lead to reclassification
• Provide weave structure documentation proving jacquard pattern and weight >170 g/m² to avoid disputes at customs
• Ensure color yarn variation is documented, as uniform color fabrics shift to other subheadings
