Import Tips

Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% synthetic staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, as blends affect classification

Provide weave density documentation (219 threads/in²) and weight certificates to prove 'duck' status and avoid reclassification to plain 'other' fabrics

Ensure printing is surface-applied, not yarn-dyed, to stay in the printed subheading; common pitfall is mislabeling dyed fabrics
