Import Tips
• Provide detailed finishing specs showing napping process; non-compliance can lead to reclassification as non-napped sheeting
• Label rolls with exact weight per square meter and yarn number average per U.S. notes to facilitate CBP verification
• Check for quantitative restrictions on raw cotton origins, as upstream materials may impact licensing
