Import Tips
• Measure fabric weight post-sizing removal via boiling; ensure >100 g/m² but ≤200 g/m² for this subheading
• Include commercial invoice detailing yarn number calculation per US note (a) to prevent audits
• Watch for selvage exclusion in weave determination; must be wholly plain weave excluding selvage
