Import Tips
• Conduct yarn number calculation per US Note (b) ensuring total single yarns per cm²; audits often focus on this for printcloth
• Obtain certificate if hand-loomed to potentially qualify under 5209/5208 provisions, avoiding quota issues
• Avoid common error of importing with excessive sizing; boil test weight per notes to confirm under 200 g/m²
