Import Tips
• Document weave type (3/4-thread twill) with photos or samples to prevent misclassification as plain weave
• Ensure commercial invoice specifies yarn colors and average yarn number per US note calculations
• Avoid common pitfall of exceeding 200 g/m² due to residual sizing; test after desizing process
