• Verify exact fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% synthetic staple and mainly cotton mix for Chapter 55 classification
• Provide weave analysis and weight certification to prove printcloth specs (yarn numbers 43-68, >33 singles/cm², square construction)
• Avoid misclassification as sheeting by documenting non-square construction or yarn count differences
