Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber composition via lab testing to confirm <85% flax and presence of cotton/man-made fibers for proper classification
• Provide weave specifications and weight documentation to distinguish from sheeting or printcloth exclusions
• Ensure unbleached/bleached status is clearly labeled to avoid misclassification into dyed categories
