Import Tips & Compliance
• Test for exact weight post-sizing removal as per US note (b) to ensure >100 g/m² classification
• Label as 'cheesecloth' only if meeting 226 spec; mislabeling leads to audits
• For food contact use, include FDA compliance docs; avoid pitfalls with non-dyed imports misfiled here
