Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the fabric width exceeds 30 cm to avoid classification under narrow woven fabrics (5806); measure flattened width for tubular fabrics

Provide lab test reports confirming cotton content over 85% and terry pile structure to prevent misclassification as plain woven cotton (5208)

Declare if loops are cut or uncut; uncut floats classify here, while cut pile may shift to other headings
