Import Tips

• Submit napping process documentation; customs may inspect for genuine brushing vs. smooth finishes

• Label exact weight post-scouring to meet >200 g/m² threshold without excessive sizing

• For upholstery use, note end-use but classify by material/weave; avoid misdeclaring as apparel fabric
