Import Tips & Compliance
• For >170 g/m², confirm no multiple/cabled yarns or low yarn numbers per exclusions; technical specs essential
• Uniform end-use doesn't change classification—focus on fiber and weave docs
• Avoid bulk dyeing issues by certifying pre-shrunk; shrinkage claims often trigger re-inspection
