Import Tips
• Declare linear meters accurately and provide weight certificates; discrepancies can trigger audits for over 200 g/m² threshold
• Ensure printing is solvent-based or reactive dyes compliant with US eco-labels to prevent FDA or EPA holds
• Label rolls with fiber content per FTC rules to avoid penalties during random CBP inspections
