Import Tips
• 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
