Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight under 170 g/m² and thread count ≤33 per cm² via lab testing to confirm cheesecloth classification
• Provide mill test certificates showing ≥85% polyester staple fiber content to avoid reclassification
• Label as 'cheesecloth' only if meeting exact statistical note (d); otherwise, risks duty adjustment
