Import Tips

• Document yarn count calculation per US note (a), measuring total single yarns per cm² after desizing

• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring weight; test multiple samples as imported condition affects g/m²

• Certify no finishes exceeding tolerance; certain treatments may push to 5208.59 (other finishes)
