Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% artificial staple fibers mixed with man-made filaments, as required for heading 5516

Provide weave analysis documentation proving non-square construction and weight specs to avoid reclassification as sheeting

Ensure 'unbleached' status matches invoice descriptions to prevent duty shifts to dyed/printed categories
