Import Tips

• Document yarn color differences and jacquard weave specifics; use photos or technical specs to support 'of yarns of different colors' claim

• Calculate yarn number per US note formulas on desized fabric; common pitfall is incorrect breadth/weight measurement

• Ensure no certification as hand-loomed, as power-loomed jacquards don't qualify for 5209 preferences
