• Certify flame-retardancy if for contract upholstery to meet US safety standards (e.g

• NFPA 701)

• Declare as 'upholstery fabric' on entry but provide construction details to prevent classification as apparel fabric

• Bundle with care instructions and colorfastness test reports to support valuation and quality claims
