Import Tips
• Document bleaching process and ensure it doesn't alter classification to dyed or printed
• Measure yarn ends/picks per cm and weight precisely to exclude from sheeting definitions
• Label origin and fiber blend clearly; pitfalls include weight mismeasurement leading to under 170 g/m² claims
