Import Tips
• Conduct grammage tests to confirm >200 g/m²; retain records for CBP audits as weight determines chapter placement
• Include commercial invoices specifying 'not napped' and sheeting type (313) to match subheading exactly
• Watch for visa requirements under cotton quotas; pitfall is importing over quota without licenses from restricted countries
