Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 271 g/m² with lab testing certificates to confirm classification in this heavy subcategory
• Include detailed construction specs (e.g
• terry loop height) in invoices to avoid misclassification as lighter fabrics
• Check for metal thread content, as it remains in Chapter 60 even if used in apparel
