Import Tips
• Confirm no multiple/cabled yarns and width <168 cm for printcloth eligibility under statistical notes
• Bleaching certificates required; excessive processing may classify as 'dyed' in next subheading
• Test for singles yarns only to avoid cheesecloth or coarser weave reclassifications
