Import Tips
• Label with exact fiber percentages and bleaching process details to comply with textile import rules
• Include construction specs (warp/filling ends, yarn number >26) in invoices to validate poplin/broadcloth status
• Watch for weight discrepancies; under 170 g/m² shifts to lighter fabric subheadings
