Import Tips
• Label as 'printcloth 615' with technical specs; importers often overlook square construction proof leading to audits
• Use AATCC test methods for yarn count verification; declare width if <168 cm for note (c)(ii) applicability
• Avoid bulk packaging mislabeled as greige—specify if printed or plain to prevent Chapter 59 shifts
