Import Tips
• Measure yarn twists to confirm under 472 turns/m for flat fabric status; over classifies differently
• Provide square meter weight certificates (<170gsm keeps options open, but twill stays 'other')
• Avoid bulk packaging mislabeled as greige; dyed status requires proof of uniform coloration
