Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content verification to ensure pure cotton classification; blends over 35% man-made shift to 6203.49
• Provide commercial invoices detailing construction, weight per square meter, and yarn type for accurate duty assessment
• Avoid misdeclaration as 'denim-look' which could trigger 6203.41 duties even if not actual denim
