Import Tips
• Document twill weave pattern (e.g
• 2/1 or 3/1) to distinguish from plain weave types like poplin
• Avoid bulk packaging without individual rolls labeled; customs may require retail-ready verification
• Test for shrinkage post-dyeing to ensure compliance with fabric stability standards
