Import Tips
• Provide flame-retardant test reports if marketed for safety uses to support modacrylic content claims
• Avoid napping the fabric excessively, as it may still qualify but could trigger printcloth scrutiny
• Document average yarn number precisely to distinguish from coarser fabrics excluded under note (b)
