Import Tips
• Conduct grammage tests (gsm) to confirm >170 g/m², distinguishing from lighter printcloth or cheesecloth exclusions
• Declare as 'of square construction' only if meeting sheeting criteria; denim twill typically does not
• Watch for bulk packaging; retail-ready bolts may face different valuation than industrial rolls
