Import Tips
• Submit fabric samples for CBP verification of weave (plain only, per note (b)) and average yarn number calculation
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling weight; measure Z' grams/m² accurately for compliance
• For bulk rolls, ensure documentation distinguishes from certified hand-loomed fabrics under 5209
