Import Tips
• Submit detailed construction specs (ends/picks per cm, yarn number) to confirm not square construction sheeting
• Label fiber content accurately per FTC rules to prevent reclassification during customs exam
• Watch for contamination; even minor non-qualifying fibers can trigger audits
