Import Tips
• Document average yarn number and thread count to distinguish from broadcloth or poplin under statistical notes
• Ensure no multiple or cabled yarns if mimicking sheeting traits, to avoid Chapter 55 note exclusions
• Batch test for weight uniformity; variations could lead to reclassification
