Import Tips
• Include weave analysis reports confirming square construction and pick count to qualify as sheeting under statistical notes
• Label as 'bleached' only if processed with bleaching agents; unfinished greige goods may shift to lower subheadings
• Watch for common pitfalls like incorrect gsm declaration leading to reclassification outside sheeting specs
