Import Tips
• Submit yarn twist meter documentation (<472 turns/m for flat fabric status) to match statistical note (b)
• Avoid bundling with finished upholstery by importing as bulk fabric to prevent Chapter 59 set classifications
• Check for prohibited azo dyes in colorants, as EU REACH compliance often aligns with US import standards
