Import Tips
• Verify exact weight per m² and filament texture via lab testing to confirm <170 g/m² and non-textured status; provide mill test certificates for polyester content >85%
• Avoid misclassification as printcloth by ensuring it doesn't meet 43-68 yarn number specs
• Label origin and fiber content per FTC rules to prevent CBP holds
