Import Tips
• Verify yarn count (43-68 average), singles yarns >33/cm², and square construction via lab testing to confirm printcloth classification
• Provide detailed weave specs and weight certificates in entry docs to avoid misclassification as generic printed fabric
• Ensure printing is post-weave; pre-printed/high-tenacity yarns may shift to other subheadings
