Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² via lab testing; provide grammage certificates to avoid reclassification
• Include bleaching process documentation and yarn count details per Chapter 52 US notes for smooth clearance
• Ensure no dyeing or printing; common pitfall is mislabeling partially dyed goods as bleached
