Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton; discrepancies lead to reclassification
• Provide weave analysis and yarn number calculations per US notes using formulas like N = BYT/1,000
• Include printing process documentation to distinguish from unbleached or dyed fabrics
