Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fabric weight exceeds 170 g/m² and confirm polyester staple fiber content is under 85% with cotton via lab testing for accurate classification

Provide mill test certificates and dyeing process documentation to prove 'dyed' status and avoid reclassification as unbleached

Ensure plain weave construction matches sheeting definition; common pitfall is mislabeling napped variants under different subheadings
