Import Tips
• Submit fabric samples for transparency and weight verification; voiles must be sheer, not opaque like batiste
• Document yarn count and construction to distinguish from printcloth (which requires 43-68 yarn number and >33 singles/cm²)
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as apparel fabric; import as greige or finished yardage with end-use certificates if needed
