Import Tips
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as printcloth (note d); ensure no printing and proper singles yarn count
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'sheeting 613' and statistical note compliance for faster CBP clearance
• For bulk imports, segregate from ≥85% flax rolls to prevent blending in classification
