Import Tips
• Maintain construction records showing >33 picks/cm to differentiate from cheesecloth statistical notes
• For apparel end-use, include buyer specs confirming lining vs outer fabric classification
• Watch for multiple yarn use (folded/cabled) which excludes from sheeting per note (b)(ii)(A)
