Import Tips
• Document exact weave type (satin vs twill) with photos or mill specs; pitfalls include misclassifying as plain weave
• Include GSM certificates; weights near 170g/m² often trigger customs audits
• Label fiber percentages accurately to prevent reclassification under pure cotton headings
