Import Tips & Compliance
• Include grammage certificates (>170 g/m² typical for denim) to differentiate from lighter printcloth or cheesecloth in notes
• Label as 'blue denim' explicitly in invoices to match statistical suffix (225); mismatches lead to reclassification
• Check for napping or finishes that might qualify as 'napped' under sheeting exclusions in statistical note (b)
