Import Tips

Verify weave density and yarn count via lab tests to confirm sheeting classification per statistical note (b); mismeasurement leads to reclassification

Include detailed fiber content breakdown (e.g

60% viscose staple, 40% poly filament) on invoices for CBP scrutiny

Avoid napping that exceeds note limits to prevent shifting to broadcloth or other categories
