Import Tips
• Submit weave analysis report confirming printcloth vs sheeting; note (d) excludes printcloth from sheeting definitions
• Cotton restraint visas mandatory; common error is incomplete fiber origin declarations for flax blends
• Ensure average yarn 43-68; test for napped finish which still qualifies if printcloth weave confirmed
