Import Tips & Compliance

• Document weave type (twill) and ensure it doesn't qualify as sheeting or printcloth per statistical notes

• Weigh multiple samples to confirm >170 g/m² average, avoiding reclassification to lighter subheadings

• For upholstery end-use, note retail packaging but classification based on fabric specs
