Import Tips
• Document average yarn number and construction to prove sheeting status; pitfalls include mislabeling as lighter printcloth
• Ensure customs declaration specifies 'yarns of different colors' with samples if challenged
• Comply with textile labeling laws for fiber blend; test for exact synthetic percentage to avoid reclassification
