Import Tips

• Verify square construction and yarn count per statistical note (b) with lab tests to confirm sheeting classification and avoid misclassification as broadcloth

• Provide detailed weave specs, weight, and fiber content documentation; common pitfall is failing to prove 'mainly with man-made filaments' via invoices

• Ensure origin certificates for polyester staple to qualify for preferential tariffs; watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Asian origins
