Import Tips
• Conduct grammage tests to prove >170 g/m², preventing downgrade to lighter fabric subheadings
• Document yarn color variations with swatches to justify 'yarns of different colors' criteria
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no multiple or cabled yarns that could mimic sheeting exclusions
