Import Tips
• Declare exact weight per square meter and yarn count to match sheeting definitions in statistical notes
• Use mill test certificates for color fastness and dye type to prevent quality disputes at entry
• Watch for over-declaration of cotton content, risking audit under cotton-specific chapters
