Import Tips

Verify square construction and thread count exceed 33 per cm² per statistical note (c) to avoid reclassification as plain weave other than sheeting

Provide lab test reports confirming <85% flax and exact cotton/man-made fiber percentages for Customs review

Monitor man-made fiber restraints (613 category) quotas via OTEXA to prevent over-quota duties
