Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% artificial staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, as misclassification to 5209 can occur

Provide mill certificates and yarn color documentation to prove 'different colors' and blue denim specs for statistical suffix 225

Avoid common pitfalls like incorrect weave identification; ensure twill construction matches denim definition
