Import Tips
• Document bleaching process without dyes; chemical analysis prevents misclassification as 'dyed'
• Include construction specs (ends/picks, yarn number) in invoices to match sheeting definition
• Watch for napping, as it doesn't exclude classification but must be noted for quality claims
