Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing as blends under 85% cotton must be documented precisely to avoid reclassification
• Provide weave structure and yarn number calculations per US notes using formulas like BT/Z to confirm numbers 43-68
• Ensure declaration of 'yarns of different colors' with color fastness tests to prevent customs disputes
