Import Tips
• Confirm no multiple/cabled yarns via fiber analysis to avoid exclusion from sheeting definition
• For printed versions, declare as greige goods if not finished to prevent Chapter 59 shift
• Use statistical note (b)(i) specs in invoices to preempt customs queries on printcloth vs sheeting
