Import Tips
• Obtain manufacturer's specs confirming no multiple/cabled yarns (per note b(ii)) to maintain sheeting status
• For bedding end-use, ensure no retail packaging to avoid Chapter 63 classification as made-up articles
• Test for shrinkage and strength as wide fabrics often face additional quality inspections
