Import Tips
• Use average yarn number calculation per US Note (a) with desized samples to support tariff shift claims if blended minimally
• Certify cotton content >85% via AATCC testing; pitfall is moisture regain inflating apparent weight over 200 g/m²
• Declare selvages accurately as US Note (b) excludes them from weave purity assessments
