Import Tips
• Measure average yarn number per US note formulas to ensure compliance if challenged on fabric metrics
• Avoid common pitfall of incorrect weight declaration; use post-scouring weight after removing sizing
• Prepare for CBP inspection by having weave diagrams confirming 3- or 4-thread twill structure
