Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight does not exceed 200 g/m² post-scouring to confirm classification; provide lab test reports if challenged
• Include detailed printing process documentation to distinguish from dyed fabrics under 5211
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring yarn number, which affects average 'number' calculation per US notes
