Import Tips
• Verify exact weight per m² and filament content via lab testing to confirm ≤170 g/m² and ≥85% polyester
• Provide mill certificates documenting non-textured polyester filaments and unbleached/bleached status
• Avoid misclassification as printcloth by ensuring it does not meet the specific density and yarn number criteria
