Import Tips
• Use AATCC test methods to document picks per cm and yarn number, preventing disputes over printcloth vs sheeting
• Declare exact width (<168cm keeps options open) and ensure no napping that might confuse with broadcloth
• Pair with NAFTA/USMCA certs if blended from qualifying origins to reduce duties significantly
