Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% man-made fibers via lab tests to avoid reclassification to cotton blends
• Include knitting gauges and pile height specs in invoices to confirm 'other' pile fabric status
• Watch for statistical reporting; ensure not meeting velour criteria (12+ stitches/cm vertically)
