Import Tips
• Conduct yarn number calculations per U.S
• Note (b) using formulas like N = BYT/1,000 to confirm average yarn specs
• Ensure no bleaching agents used; include dyeing/process logs to prove unbleached status
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring weight—use post-scouring weight after removing sizing
