Import Tips
• Document dyeing as piece-dyed (not printed) with lab reports; glazing finish must not alter base classification
• Measure weight after removing sizing per US note formula (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) to confirm ≤200 g/m²
• Include commercial invoice detailing weave type (wholly plain per note b) and end-use to prevent reclassification
