Import Tips
• Provide end-use statements specifying backpacking/outdoor applications to support technical fabric status
• Ensure no multiple (folded) yarns are used, as this excludes certain sheeting definitions but confirms plain weave
• Conduct pre-shipment weight verification to avoid overweight penalties shifting to higher subheadings
