Import Tips
• Specify low thread count (<33/cm²) in technical specs to qualify as cheesecloth and prevent sheeting reclassification
• For industrial uses, include end-use statements to differentiate from apparel fabrics
• Avoid napping if it alters weight specs, as statistical notes apply to napped or not
