Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact yarn count, weight, and weave meet printcloth specs (43-68 yarn number, square construction) via lab testing to avoid reclassification

Include detailed fiber content breakdown (<85% flax, cotton + MMF) and man-made fiber restraint category 615 documentation for Customs

Watch for over 85% flax threshold; blends tipping higher shift to 5309.21 headings, triggering different quotas
