Import Tips
• Document yarn count and construction to prove 'other' status; sheeting misclassification common for lighter weights
• Include print process certification as printing distinguishes from 5515 dyed sheeting
• Label accurately for apparel end-use to prevent scrutiny under textile quota remnants
