Import Tips
• Use boiling to remove sizing before yarn number calculation per US note (b), ensuring accurate 69+ determination
• Certify non-hand-loomed status if applicable, as 5208 hand-loomed has separate provisions
• Avoid common pitfall of misstating weight; measure Z' grams/m² precisely for under-200 g/m² proof
