Import Tips
• Obtain supplier affidavits specifying no cabled yarns and compliance with printcloth weave density requirements
• Use AATCC test methods to certify weight, yarn number, and construction for U.S
• Customs verification
• Avoid pitfalls by ensuring width <168 cm if not combed; otherwise, it may not qualify as printcloth
