Import Tips
• Conduct weave analysis to confirm square construction and >33 warp/filling picks per cm per statistical notes to prevent duty disputes
• Label rolls with exact weight, fiber breakdown, and bleaching status; pitfalls include incomplete mill test reports
• Declare as greige if partially processed to avoid higher duties on finished dyed goods
