Import Tips
• 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
