Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify yarn count (>33 singles/cm²), weight (<200 g/m²), and square construction via lab testing to confirm printcloth classification and avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed fiber content breakdown (flax <85%, cotton + MMF) on commercial invoice; MMF restraints require additional quota documentation
