Import Tips
• Test for napping and ensure documentation notes plain weave to avoid misclassification as non-plain types
• Check for square construction; if exactly matching sheeting specs over 170 gsm, it may require reclassification
• Use commercial invoices specifying end-use as upholstery to differentiate from apparel fabrics
