Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 170 g/m² and confirm sheeting specs via lab testing to match statistical note (b)(ii)
• Provide detailed fiber content breakdown and yarn construction documentation to avoid misclassification as plain weave
• Ensure printing is post-weave; pre-printed base fabrics may shift to other subheadings
