Import Tips
• Provide construction diagrams showing non-square weave to distinguish from sheeting under note (b)
• Label rolls with HTS-specific details and country of weave origin to facilitate CBP examination
• Watch for common pitfall of over-declaring weight, triggering reclassification to heavier fabric subheadings
