Import Tips

• Verify yarn denier (75-80 dtex), filament count (24 per yarn), and twist (900+ turns/m) via lab testing to confirm classification

• Provide mill test certificates documenting thread count (warp 70-142/cm, filling 32-71/cm) and width under 77 cm

• Avoid misclassification as broader polyester fabrics (5407.61.xx) by ensuring no textured yarns or exceeding filament/twist specs
