Import Tips
• Label each motif with fiber content and embroidery type; test for cotton purity to prevent reclassification
• Include production photos or samples in shipments to prove 'in motifs' status versus finished garments
• Avoid bundling with non-cotton threads exceeding principal weight, which could shift to man-made fiber headings
