Import Tips & Compliance

Certify flame-retardant properties but classify based on fiber/weave, not function; end-use doesn't change heading

Test for no multiple yarns; statistical note excludes them from printcloth definition

Bundle with NFPA compliance docs if for industrial use, but primary HTS is fiber-based
