Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify square construction and yarn count specs (43-68 avg, >33 singles/cm²) via lab testing to confirm printcloth classification
• Provide mill certificates documenting artificial filament composition and weight under 170 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Label fiber content accurately as required by FTC; common pitfall is misdeclaring as synthetic if viscose dominant
