Import Tips
• Retain certification throughout supply chain; U.S
• Customs may request it post-entry for verification
• Avoid common pitfall of over-declaring weight; precise g/m² measurement post-sizing removal is required per U.S. note (a)
• Label with fiber content and country of origin; non-compliance leads to penalties under textile import rules
