Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 70% for vegetable fiber classification and provide mill test certificates for fiber analysis
• Ensure coating is applied to pre-woven fabric, not knitted, to avoid Chapter 61; include manufacturing process documentation
• Check quota category 631 status and obtain necessary textile visas before shipment to prevent entry refusal
