Import Tips
• Document weave as plain (excluding selvage) per US notes to prevent misclassification as twill or satin
• Include commercial invoice specifying weight per m² and bleaching process to comply with Chapter 52 rules
• Avoid common pitfall of unremoved sizing affecting weight measurement; boil-test if disputed by customs
