Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% synthetics mixed with cotton, as exceeding this shifts to 5407.82

• Provide weave specs (square construction, >33 ends/picks per cm²) in documentation to match 'sheeting (627)' criteria

• Avoid misclassification as printcloth by ensuring no print patterns; declare yarn color variations accurately
