Import Tips
• Verify yarn composition to ensure cotton exceeds 50% for Chapter 58 classification; obtain lab tests for fiber content documentation
• Confirm width exceeds 30 cm and it's not narrow woven to avoid reclassification under 5806; measure flattened width for tubular types
• Exclude fabrics impregnated or coated (Chapter 59 note); provide mill certificates showing no Chapter 59 treatments
