Import Tips
• Document printing as piece-dyed (not yarn-dyed) to stay in 5208.52; provide process flow from greige to finished
• Measure fabric breadth and linear density per US note formulas for accurate yarn number verification
• Bundle with mill test reports showing cotton purity; beware of blending pitfalls dropping below 85% threshold
