Import Tips
• Ensure the fabric's weave density and yarn count are documented, as these determine whether it is classified as sheeting or printcloth
• Verify that the fabric is not 'made up' within the meaning of Section XI Note 7, such as being cut to size with hemmed edges
• If the fabric is for medical use, confirm it does not fall under Chapter 30 as a sterile product
