Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² and calculate average yarn number per US note formulas to confirm classification
• Obtain mill test certificates documenting unbleached state and cotton content to avoid reclassification as bleached
• Beware of quantitative restrictions on raw cotton; ensure fabric meets 'woven fabrics of Chapter 52' weave specifications
