Import Tips
• Verify yarn count, weave density, and weight via lab testing to confirm printcloth classification; ensure fiber content labels show <85% artificial staple with cotton mix
• Common pitfall: misclassifying as sheeting if square construction not proven
• Obtain mill certificates for bleached/unbleached status
