Import Tips

Verify yarn count, weave construction, and fiber content via lab tests to confirm printcloth specs and avoid reclassification

Include detailed invoices specifying flax percentage (<85%), weight (<200 g/m²), and cotton restraint applicability

Watch for bleaching process documentation; unbleached/bleached status affects subheading eligibility
