Import Tips
• Document spandex content precisely, as elastic MMF affects duty; common pitfall is underreporting synthetics
• Ensure fabric meets 'sheeting' width standards (typically >100 cm) to prevent reclass to narrower cloths
• Provide weave analysis confirming plain weave, excluding twill or satin that would shift headings
