Import Tips

• Certify no twisted yarns exceed 472 turns/m to stay as 'flat fabric' and avoid exclusion notes

• Specify industrial vs retail end-use; industrial may allow bulk import without retail packaging duties

• Avoid declaring as 'performance fabric' without backing data, risking reclass to man-made coated types
