Import Tips & Compliance

• Document wale count (must exceed 7.5 per cm) and cotton content (>85%) for Customs verification

• Include lab test results confirming construction specifications in entry documentation

• Avoid common pitfall of misclassifying as standard cotton fabric under 5801.22 without designation
