Import Tips

• Verify square construction and exact thread count per statistical note (d) to confirm sheeting classification; provide lab test reports if challenged

• Include yarn number certification and weight documentation to distinguish from printcloth or non-sheeting under 5407.91

• Label as unbleached/bleached accurately; bleaching process must not alter weave beyond plain weave limits
