Import Tips & Compliance

Use formulas ST/10 or BT/Z from U.S. notes to certify average yarn number for customs verification

Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling weight; test Z' (grams per m²) post-sizing removal

For bulk rolls, ensure packaging doesn't imply retail sale which could trigger different valuation
