Import Tips
• Document construction as 'duck (219)' with thread count and yarn specs to match statistical note criteria
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as lighter fabric; always certify weight exceeds 170 g/m²
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'mixed mainly with cotton' to align with heading language
