Import Tips
• Document square construction with thread count specs to confirm sheeting per statistical notes, preventing reclassification
• Label fiber content accurately; imports without wool certification often face audits
• Avoid bulk packaging mislabeled as greige goods; specify end-use if for apparel to aid valuation
