Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight under 170 gsm and yarn specs match printcloth definition to avoid reclassification
• Provide lab test reports confirming <85% artificial staple fibers and filament mix for customs clearance
• Label origin and fiber content accurately; common pitfall is misdeclaring as 100% staple fiber
