Import Tips
• Conduct square construction check; poplin excludes square weaves over certain specs—provide density reports
• Dyed fabrics need color matching certificates; pitfall is uneven dyeing leading to quality holds at customs
• Ship in rolls >168 cm width if possible to distinguish from printcloth exclusions
