How do shipping, customs and compliance for the USA work?

What US importers need to know before placing a first order.

Turkey does not hold a free trade agreement with the USA, so fleece fabric shipments are subject to standard US import duty under the applicable HTS textile code — we recommend confirming the exact duty rate with your customs broker before ordering, since it varies by fiber blend and construction. Sea freight from Istanbul typically takes 3-4 weeks to major US ports; air freight arrives in 3-5 days for samples or urgent small batches. For finished goods made from our fabric, US brands should note CPSC compliance requirements for children's products, California Prop 65 restricted-substance rules, and FTC fiber-content/country-of-origin labeling rules.

What is the width of Polar fleece fabric?
Polar fleece fabric is 175-180 cm wide. Always confirm the width before planning your cut: the fabric is sold by weight, so metre yield depends directly on it.
