Import Tips
• 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
