Import Tips & Compliance

• Measure fabric weight post-scouring to confirm ≤200 g/m²; excessive sizing can lead to overweight misclassification

• Document yarn count calculation per US note (b) formulas, counting all single yarns in the fabric

• Avoid bulk packaging without retail intent to prevent shift to lower-value headings
