• Verify fabric weight ≤170 g/m² and square construction (>33 ends/picks per cm²) via lab tests for accurate classification
• Provide mill test certificates confirming <85% polyester staple, mainly mixed with cotton, and dyed plain weave
• Avoid misclassification as printcloth by ensuring it doesn't meet 43-68 yarn number specs with singles yarns only
