Import Tips
• Measure fabric breadth and weight per linear meter post-sizing removal to calculate exact yarn number per Chapter 52 US note (b)
• Label clearly as unbleached to prevent customs upgrading to dyed or printed categories
• Monitor for quantitative restrictions on cotton fabrics; include mill test certificates
