Import Tips
• Conduct lab testing for exact g/m² weight post-scouring, as excessive sizing can skew measurements
• Label bolts clearly with HTS details and origin to facilitate CBP examination and quota checks
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as 'bleached' if only optically brightened—true bleaching changes classification
