Import Tips
• Use grammage certificates from accredited labs to prove >200 g/m² after removing excessive sizing
• Document man-made fiber type (e.g
• polyester staple) to confirm 'mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers'
• Beware of colorfastness testing requirements for printed textiles to prevent customs holds
