Import Tips
• Ensure no napping or finishing that could shift to other subheadings; provide weave structure affidavits
• Label rolls with exact GSM, fiber content, and 'Osnaburg 313' to match statistical suffix and speed clearance
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as lighter fabric; weigh samples post-sizing removal per US note (b)
