Import Tips
• Calculate yarn number post-sizing removal via boiling; document with supplier specs to confirm 43-68 range
• Ensure dyeing is uniform and even; uneven dye may trigger quality disputes or reclassification as unbleached
• Avoid bulk packaging over 50m rolls without invoices specifying g/m² to prevent overweight claims
