Import Tips
• Include bleaching process certificates to distinguish from unbleached, ensuring proper 5514.19 subheading
• Label exact weight and construction; fabrics ≤170 g/m² may shift to lighter weight headings like 5514.21
• Check for napping; statistical notes allow it but require proof it's not excluded low-density type
