Import Tips
• Provide weave structure diagrams or samples to confirm satin weave, as per U.S. notes on specified weaves
• Label bolts with exact weight per square meter and cotton percentage to prevent undervaluation disputes
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as lighter weight fabric, which shifts to lower subheadings
