Import Tips & Compliance

Submit bleaching process certification to distinguish from unbleached; bleached still qualifies if specs match sheeting

Test for square construction (equal warp/fill density) as deviation could reclassify to poplin or other

Avoid bulk packaging mislabeled as retail sets; individual bolts stay woven fabric vs assembled goods
