Import Tips
• For entertainment end-use, include end-user letters but classification remains fabric-based on composition/weave
• Remove excessive sizing before weight testing as per US note (a) to ensure accurate g/m² measurement
• Avoid retail packaging that might imply made-up status, keeping as bulk fabric rolls
