Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight does not exceed 200 g/m² and confirm twill weave via lab testing to avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed yarn number calculations per US Note formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) in entry documentation
• Label fiber content accurately; common pitfall is misstating dyes as plain-colored, leading to audits
