Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm low thread count (≤33/cm) in specs to distinguish from denser poplin/sheeting; pitfall leads to wrong chapter note
• Provide napped/un-napped status; multi-color overrides cheesecloth if not plain low-count
• Bulk packaging requires weight declarations to avoid retail set misclassification
