Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% artificial staple and cotton dominance for accurate classification
• Provide weave analysis documentation proving satin or twill structure to avoid reclassification as plain weave
• Ensure printing is on one or both sides as declared; mismatches lead to penalties
