Import Tips & Compliance

Measure weight precisely; fabrics ≤170 g/m² with 43-68 yarn number risk printcloth reclassification

Submit construction samples to customs for verification of square weave and ends/picks count

Label as 'sheeting' only if specs match; generic 'woven fabric' invites scrutiny
