Import Tips
• Document exact yarn count and fabric weight post-sizing removal per US note formulas to confirm average number
• Label as 'not napped' and provide photos/micrographs of plain weave to distinguish from twill varieties
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as denim if yarns don't meet 3/4-thread twill specs in subheading notes
