Import Tips & Compliance

Use CBP-approved yarn number calculation (per US notes) to validate cotton metrics; document average yarn count

Ensure no power-loom certification needed unless claiming hand-loomed; standard mill production fits this code

Avoid bulk packaging pitfalls—declare as greige (unbleached) fabric, not processed goods
