Import Tips

• Document selvedge construction (woven, not gummed) as chapter notes distinguish these for classification

• Batch test for colorfastness if dyed, as CBP may require proof against bleeding claims

• Avoid bulk packaging over 30 cm flattened width to stay within narrow fabric parameters
