Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact cotton content <85% via lab test; provide fiber composition certificates to avoid reclassification

Confirm yarn number ≥69 using US note formulas (e.g

N = BYT/1,000); retain weave analysis reports

Ensure weight ≤200 g/m² documented; common pitfall is mislabeling heavier fabrics
