Import Tips & Compliance

Verify weave type and thread count (≥326 warp ends/100mm) via lab testing to confirm sateen classification under subheading notes

Provide detailed yarn number calculations per US Note (b) using fabric weight and dimensions for accurate average yarn number declaration

Ensure no bleaching or dyeing has occurred; residual natural cotton oils are acceptable but document production process to avoid misclassification
