Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify square construction and thread count exceed 33 per cm with lab testing to confirm sheeting classification

• Provide detailed fiber content breakdown and weight certification; mismatches lead to reclassification

• Ensure printing is post-weave to avoid plain fabric headings; declare as 'printed' explicitly
