Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm less than 85% artificial staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, as required for Chapter 55 classification

• Provide dyeing process documentation and weight certificates to prove 'duck' status (plain weave, >170 g/m², balanced construction excluding poplin/broadcloth exclusions)

• Avoid misclassification as 100% cotton by ensuring accurate blend ratios; common pitfall is under-declaring synthetic content
