Import Tips
• Document satin weave structure (floats per pattern) as Customs may inspect for plain weave misclassification
• Ensure weight >200 g/m² via certified test; lighter fabrics go to lower weight subheadings
• Avoid common pitfall of bleaching post-import without noting; declare as unbleached accurately
