Import Tips & Compliance

Document breadth in cm and linear meters per kg for accurate average yarn number calculation per US note (a)

Ensure dyeing is even and colorfast; customs may test for bleed that affects classification stability

Avoid bulk packaging over 200 g/m² equivalent due to compression; measure post-unpacking to prevent overweight disputes
