Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² post-scouring using the US note formula for average yarn number to confirm classification
• Provide lab test reports for dye fastness and fiber content (must be over 85% cotton) to avoid reclassification
• Avoid common pitfalls like incorrect thread count declaration; '313' refers to approximate total threads per sq inch
