Import Tips
• Document spandex as man-made fiber; stretching properties don't alter weave classification but require stretch test reports
• Ensure no excessive sizing; US note requires weight after de-sizing for accurate gsm declaration
• Batch-test for uniform dyeing; uneven color may trigger quality disputes or reclassification
