Import Tips & Compliance

• Submit yarn count and pick density lab reports to validate printcloth specs under note (e); no multiples/cabled yarns

• Declare as unbleached explicitly—any color flecks may trigger dyed review

• Avoid bulk packaging mislabeled as retail sets, which could shift to different statistical suffixes
