Import Tips

Verify exact yarn counts and weights per statistical notes (a)-(d) to confirm printcloth classification; deviations may shift to 5309.29.30.20

Provide detailed fiber content breakdown and cotton restraint certificates, as <85% flax triggers textile quota scrutiny

Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as sheeting; test for square construction (warp/filling difference <11 per cm)
