Import Tips
• Measure fabric weight post-sizing removal via boiling; ensure >100 g/m² for this subheading
• Document plain weave structure (excluding selvage) as per Chapter 52 notes to prevent weave disputes
• Avoid quota issues by confirming not certified hand-loomed; bulk imports need mill certificates
