Import Tips
• Include fiber content labels compliant with FTC rules; declare exact percentages to prevent undervaluation penalties
• Measure weight post-scouring to confirm ≤200 g/m²; excessive sizing can lead to misclassification
• Watch for country-of-origin rules; blends may require specific invoices detailing yarn origins
