Import Tips
• Measure weight after boiling to remove sizing per US note (b); fractions in yarn number disregarded
• Prepare detailed weave analysis photos/reports to confirm 'warp faced' twill vs broken twill for customs review
• Bundle with commercial invoice specifying g/m², cotton %, and denim type to prevent holds at entry
