Import Tips
• Calculate average yarn number using US note formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) from imported fabric specs to confirm ≤42
• Label with exact weight per m² and bleaching certification to prevent reclassification as heavier fabrics over 200 g/m²
• Avoid common pitfall of importing sized fabric without desizing for accurate weight measurement
