Import Tips
• Conduct fiber composition analysis to document filament proportion; pitfall is underestimating filament content leading to 5514 reclassification
• Label with exact g/m² and construction details for CBP review; ensure no printcloth traits to stay in sheeting
• For curtain use, note end-use but classify by fiber/weave; bulk packaging avoids retail set duties
