Import Tips & Compliance

Measure fabric weight post-sizing removal via boiling; ensure documentation shows ≤200 g/m² compliance

Declare exact weave type (e.g

canvas twill) as notes specify provisions embrace wholly specified weaves

Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring yarn number—use total single yarns per cm² in official formula
