Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton mixed with man-made fibers; discrepancies lead to reclassification

• Provide weave analysis and yarn number calculation per US notes using formulas like N = BYT/1,000 to avoid customs disputes

• Include end-use documentation if for food contact, as cheesecloth often requires FDA compliance certifications
