Import Tips

• Measure fabric breadth and weight per US note formulas to confirm average yarn number ≥69, as fractions are disregarded

• Ensure certificate of analysis for cotton purity and bleaching only—no optical brighteners that could imply dyeing

• Avoid bulk packaging without retail intent; declare as fabric rolls to prevent set classification under 5209
