Import Tips
• Document weave type (plain with uneven yarn counts) and weight via mill certificates to distinguish from satin (5212.14) or twill (5212.19)
• Ensure no printing; solid dyeing only, as printed fabrics move to 5212.23; include colorfastness tests
• For bulk rolls, specify linear meters and grams/m² on packing list to facilitate customs verification
