Import Tips & Compliance

• Measure fabric breadth and weight per US note formulas to document compliance with <200 g/m² limit

• Label rolls with exact yarn number average to support 43-68 classification during CBP examination

• Avoid common pitfall of incomplete bleaching certification, which could lead to duty reassessment
