Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to prove 85%+ synthetics; common error is assuming printcloth if specs match but colors differ
• Specify 'not printcloth' in docs with weave analysis to stay in multi-color subheading
• Watch for width <168 cm triggering printcloth note (ii); measure and certify
