Import Tips
• Submit construction specs (ends/picks per cm², yarn number) to prove sheeting per note (b) and avoid printcloth misclassification
• Declare exact weight per m² as it affects note applicability and potential duty brackets
• Use AATA rulings for similar multi-color sheetings to preempt CBP challenges
