Import Tips
• Verify elastomeric yarn content exceeds 5% by weight via lab testing to confirm classification
• Provide mill certificates documenting cotton content and width under 30 cm for customs clearance
• Avoid misclassification as heading 6001 by ensuring wale count does not meet pile fabric criteria
