Import Tips
• Test for average yarn number >26 to confirm sheeting; common error is classifying heavier broadcloths here
• Include mill certificates showing staple-filament ratio; watch for flammability standards if upholstery-bound
• Declare as greige if undyed to potentially lower duties; avoid bulk vs retail packaging confusion
