Import Tips
• Include dyeing certificates showing warp/weft color differences to validate 'yarns of different colors' provision
• Test for excessive sizing removal per US note (b) before weight measurement to ensure accurate g/m²
• Beware of set packaging; bulk rolls stay in 5209, retail-cut pieces may shift to apparel fabric headings
