Import Tips & Compliance

• Obtain organic certification documentation alongside HTS compliance tests for fiber and yarn metrics

• Measure fabric weight post-scouring to ensure ≤100 g/m², as excessive sizing can trigger misclassification

• Declare exact yarn number average per US note formulas to Customs for accurate duty assessment
