Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% synthetic staples mixed mainly with cotton; discrepancies lead to reclassification

• Provide weave analysis and weight certificates to prove sheeting definition compliance per statistical note (b)

• Ensure dyeing is uniform and documented; avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as plain undyed fabric
