Import Tips & Compliance

Measure fabric breadth and linear density to compute average yarn number 'N' using formulas in US Note (a) for tariff compliance

Obtain certificate confirming no chemical bleaching; common pitfall is misdeclaring partially scoured fabrics as unbleached

Check for selvage exclusions in weave verification—only the body must be wholly sateen per US Note (b)
