Import Tips
• Document square construction with thread count certificates; CBP often audits against printcloth exclusion in note (c)
• Specify 'unbleached' status clearly, as any optical brighteners may trigger bleached or dyed subheading
• For bulk rolls, ensure packaging labels weight and dimensions to avoid overweight fabric reclassification
