Import Tips
• Measure fabric breadth and weight per US note formulas to confirm average yarn number stays within 43-68
• Declare as printcloth specifically; generic 'cotton sheeting' may lead to incorrect 5208.19 classification
• Avoid contamination with synthetic fibers to maintain >85% cotton threshold
