Import Tips
• Document square construction and thread count to match sheeting definition; poor records lead to poplin misclassification
• Ensure no napping if claiming sheeting, as napped variants may require separate verification
• Provide yarn number proofs (68 or lower) to prevent disputes under statistical note exclusions
