Import Tips
• Label as 'bleached' only if scoured but not dyed; include bleaching process certification
• Check yarn twist complies with 'flat fabrics' definition (under 472 turns/m) for accurate weave reporting
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 100% artificial—disclose exact wool percentage for quota compliance
