Import Tips
• Label bolts with fiber content per FTC rules and HTS specs to avoid holds at ports
• Watch for dyeing processes; ensure colored yarns still meet unbleached/bleached definitions if applicable
• Avoid bulk packing without invoices; itemize yardage and silk % to prevent valuation disputes
