Import Tips
• Verify filament content exceeds 85% artificial yarn via lab testing to confirm classification under 5408
• Include mill test certificates showing unbleached state and weave type to avoid reclassification as dyed
• Watch for square construction pitfalls that might shift to sheeting definitions in statistical notes
