Import Tips
• Include bleaching process certification; unprocessed greige goods might classify under raw fabric headings if not declared as bleached
• Check for napping, allowed in sheeting note but ensure it doesn't alter weight or construction specs during customs inspection
• Avoid common error of declaring as printcloth by confirming no printing and correct yarn singles count
