Import Tips
• Document yarn count precisely per US note (a), counting single yarns in folded/cabled yarns for accurate Nm 43-68 classification
• Avoid common pitfall of misweighting; measure grams per m² after desizing for compliance
• Label as 'dyed plain weave cotton fabric' to distinguish from yarn-dyed or printed alternatives
