Import Tips
• 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
