Import Tips
• Include bleaching certification and fiber content breakdown to distinguish from dyed fabrics in 5309.29
• Check for napping; if present, confirm it doesn't exceed sheeting specs per note (f) to prevent misclassification
• Declare category 613 accurately for visa requirements, as man-made content triggers textile import controls
