Import Tips & Compliance

Confirm yarn twist <472 turns/m for 'flat fabric' status; twisted yarns may shift classification

Label rolls with exact g/m² and % polyester; customs often weighs samples for verification

Avoid misdeclaring as apparel fabric—import as greige (unbleached) to match subheading
