Import Tips
• Declare exact weave type and ensure it meets 'flat fabric' criteria if applicable to avoid weave-specific notes
• Use invoices specifying unbleached status and weight percentages to prevent misclassification as finished goods
• Check for square construction if claiming sheeting-like properties, but note exclusions for wool blends
