Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% cotton via lab tests to confirm Chapter 60 classification and avoid reclassification to man-made fibers
• Include dyeing process certification and colorfastness reports in documentation to prove 'dyed' status under subheading 222
• Watch for stitch-bonded structures; ensure chain stitches are textile yarn to qualify as 'knitted' per Chapter notes
