Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% artificial staple and mainly cotton mix for Chapter 55 classification

• Provide weave specs (ends/picks per cm, yarn number, gsm) in documentation to prove 'sheeting' per statistical notes

• Avoid misclassification as printcloth by ensuring no printing and compliance with square construction rules
