Import Tips

• Conduct square construction tests (warp/filling balance) and ensure no multiple/cabled yarns to avoid reclassification

• Include mill test reports for yarn numbers and print verification; customs often audits printcloth specs rigorously

• For rolls >168 cm width, confirm combed status if applicable, as narrower widths have specific note allowances
