Import Tips
• Submit detailed construction reports (ends/picks per cm, yarn number) during customs entry to validate printcloth status
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring width; printcloth note (c)(ii) applies to <168 cm widths for certain types
• Use mill test certificates for fiber identification to distinguish acetate from other artificial fibers
