Import Tips

• Verify thread count meets exact 69-142 warp / 31-71 filling per cm specs using certified lab testing to avoid misclassification

• Ensure fabric contains 85%+ polyester filaments by weight with documentation from manufacturer

• Provide yarn color variation proof as 'different colors' requirement is strictly enforced at customs
