Import Tips
• Include bleaching process certification and fiber content lab reports to prove mixed mainly with polyester <85%
• Measure and document exact g/m² and weave density to avoid reclassification as cheesecloth or poplin
• Label as 'unbleached or bleached' clearly; any dyeing requires different subheading
