Import Tips
• 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
