Import Tips
• Include mill test reports showing open weave density and fiber blend to avoid reclassification as denser voiles
• Label clearly as 'cheesecloth' with technical specs; customs may challenge if resembling apparel fabrics
• Check for uniform dyeing to prevent duty disputes under 'other dyed woven fabrics'
