Import Tips
• Use detailed invoices specifying 'jacquard weave' and g/m² to prevent down-classification to lighter fabrics
• Test for shrinkage and colorfastness pre-import to comply with U.S. textile standards
• Avoid bundling with lighter fabrics, as average weight calculation could alter heading
