Import Tips
• Submit grammage certificates confirming >200 g/m²; common pitfall is under-declaring weight leading to lighter fabric duties
• Label rolls with exact dye lot and composition to comply with US fiber content rules under Textile Fiber Products Act
• Avoid importing as sets with hardware; classify components separately to prevent higher set duties
