Import Tips
• Document exact yarn colors (warp indigo, weft lighter shade) with dye lot certificates to prove 'yarns of different colors' requirement
• Confirm gram weight via ASTM D3776 testing; must exceed 200 g/m² after removing sizing
• Beware quota implications if cotton staple length triggers Chapter 52 quantitative restrictions
