Import Tips
• Remove excessive sizing via boiling test per US note before weighing to ensure accurate g/m² measurement
• Specify end-use as fabric (not garment) in invoices to prevent classification as made-up articles
• Batch-test for colorfastness, as uneven dyeing could lead to quality disputes or reclassification
