Import Tips

• Verify yarn count (43-68) and singles yarn density (>33/cm²) via lab testing to confirm printcloth (615) classification

• Provide mill certificates showing ≥85% acrylic staple fibers and unbleached/bleached status for customs clearance

• Avoid misclassification as cheesecloth by ensuring weave exceeds 33 ends/picks per cm²; common pitfall in lightweight synthetics
