Import Tips & Compliance

Submit detailed construction specs (warp/filling picks, yarn number) to prove sheeting exclusion for weights >170 g/m²

Label with exact gsm and fiber breakdown; common pitfall is under-declaring weight leading to lighter fabric headings

Use ISO-certified dyeing certs to confirm even coloration across the fabric
