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
