Import Tips
• Include bleaching certification and weight certificates to prove ≤170 g/m² compliance
• Label as 'Grade 40' or similar to indicate cheesecloth specs, preventing reclassification as sheeting
• Watch for napping; statistical notes allow it but excessive processing may trigger 5513.19 subheading
