Import Tips
• Verify square construction and thread count exceed 33 per sq cm to qualify as sheeting; provide lab test reports for fiber content
• Include textile category 613 visa documentation due to man-made fiber restraints; declare exact cotton/man-made percentages
• Avoid misclassification as printcloth by confirming no print patterns and average yarn number 68 or lower
