Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight does not exceed 170 g/m² and confirm ≥85% non-textured polyester content via lab testing for accurate classification
• Provide dyeing and printing process documentation to customs to avoid misclassification as unprinted fabric
• Ensure supplier invoices specify filament type (non-textured) to prevent shifts to textured polyester categories
