Ensure accurate weight and yarn number documentation to distinguish from printcloth or cheesecloth exclusions

Label rolls with fiber content, width, and dye lot for traceability during customs inspection

Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as silk-like if weave mimics natural fibers, triggering reclassification
