Import Tips
• Measure breadth in cm and total single yarns per cm² to compute average yarn number accurately per US note
• Label as 'poplin or broadcloth (314)' if marketing specifies, but classification relies on technical weave specs
• Avoid common pitfall of misstating weight; test post-scouring to confirm >100 g/m²
