Import Tips
• Include flame retardancy certifications if marketed as such, but ensure classification based on fiber/weave not end-use
• Document average yarn number to exclude lower-number exclusions in sheeting definition
• Check for napping; allowed in sheeting but confirm it doesn't alter plain weave classification
