Import Tips

• Use average yarn number calculation per US notes for any disputes on fabric metrics; document post-scouring weight

• Label as 'not napped' with surface inspection reports to avoid reclassification to napped subheadings

• For upholstery end-use, note commercial packaging but classify by fiber/weave, not application
