Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% artificial staple fibers mixed with man-made filaments for accurate classification
• Provide weave specifications (square construction, >33 ends/picks per cm) in documentation to match sheeting definition
• Avoid misclassification as printcloth by ensuring it doesn't meet the 43-68 yarn number criteria
