Import Tips & Compliance

Verify lab tests confirm weight <170 g/m², yarn numbers 43-68, >33 singles yarns/cm², no multiples/cabled yarns for printcloth status

Provide weave analysis and yarn count certificates; common pitfall is misclassifying as sheeting if construction varies slightly

Ensure 85%+ polyester staple fiber content via invoice and mill certificates to avoid reclassification
