Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to ensure <85% polyester and mainly cotton mix, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification
• Provide weave analysis and weight certification to confirm sheeting definition and >170 g/m² threshold
• Include printing process documentation to distinguish from unprinted fabrics under 5514.41.0030
