Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² with lab test certificates to avoid reclassification to lighter embroidery subheadings
• Provide detailed embroidery process documentation, distinguishing from applique or printed designs under Chapter 59
• Label fiber content accurately as cotton to prevent disputes; common pitfall is misdeclaring blends over 50% cotton
