Import Tips
• Measure fabric width and weight precisely; use boiling to remove sizing before yarn number calculation
• Label as 'unbleached' with origin certification to comply with subheading requirements
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics industrial use; retail-ready rolls prevent reclass to lower headings
