Import Tips
• Verify square construction and exact gsm/yarn specs via lab tests to confirm 'sheeting' classification and avoid reclassification to 5515.99.90.00
• Provide mill test certificates documenting fiber content (85%+ polyester staple) and weave parameters for CBP review
• Label rolls clearly with style number, width, and weight to prevent common pitfalls in statistical suffix (613) reporting
