Import Tips
• Document printing method (e.g
• rotary screen) to distinguish from dyed fabrics under customs scrutiny
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics heavier fabrics; declare exact g/m² to prevent weight-based reclassification
• Comply with FTC fiber labeling for retail resale; missing labels lead to seizures
