Import Tips
• Measure fabric breadth and weight per US note formulas to confirm <=200 g/m² overall and <=100 g/m² subheading
• Label as 'poplin or broadcloth (314)' in invoices; CBP often audits weave type visually
• Avoid bulk packaging without specs; require supplier certificates for yarn number to prevent delays
