Import Tips
• Use microscope analysis for twill confirmation (diagonal ribs) to support statistical note (a) weave purity
• Declare exact g/m² and construction to evade sheeting/printcloth reclass under notes (d)-(e)
• Pair with apparel importers but classify separately as greige-alike printed fabric
