Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 170 g/m² and meets sheeting criteria (square construction, >33 ends/picks per cm) via lab testing to avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed fiber content certificates showing <85% polyester with cotton as main mix for customs compliance
• Ensure plain weave structure documentation; common pitfall is mislabeling napped variants which shift to other subheadings
