Import Tips
• Provide cross-section photos showing knit loops to differentiate pique texture from woven
• Printing must cover substantial surface; spot-printed may risk unprinted classification
• Watch weight per square meter; heavier fabrics (>170g/m²) sometimes misclassified as circular knits elsewhere
