Import Tips
• Include bleaching process certification to distinguish from unbleached and prevent upcharge to dyed categories
• Check for square construction pitfalls; this code assumes twill, not poplin/broadcloth per Chapter 55 notes
• Label rolls with exact weight per m² to comply with exceeding 170 g/m² requirement
