Import Tips
• Include flame retardancy certifications if marketed for protective clothing to support modacrylic classification
• Document average yarn number to differentiate from broadcloth exclusions over 170 gsm with yarn 26 or lower
• Label rolls clearly with width and weight to prevent confusion with bulk packaging under different headings
