Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight does not exceed 200 g/m² with lab testing to confirm classification under this subheading
• Provide dyeing process documentation and yarn count details to avoid reclassification as printed fabrics
• Ensure no excessive sizing remains, as per US note on yarn number calculation, to prevent weight discrepancies
