Import Tips
• Calculate average yarn number using US note formulas (e.g
• BT/Z); provide lab reports to support 43-68 classification
• Certify no excessive sizing; boil test if needed for accurate weight declaration under 200 g/m²
• For curtain use, note end-use but classify by fabric properties; avoid retail packaging that implies finished goods
