Import Tips

Verify yarn count (43-68 average), singles yarns (>33/cm²), and square construction via lab testing to confirm printcloth classification

Provide detailed weave analysis and weight certificates; misclassification as sheeting is common without precise documentation

Ensure fiber content labels show <85% polyester with cotton mix; bulk shipments require commercial invoices specifying g/m²
