Import Tips

• Verify square construction and thread count exceed 33 per cm² with lab testing to confirm sheeting classification per statistical note (b)

• Provide detailed yarn composition certificates showing <85% artificial staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton to avoid reclassification

• Ensure width measurement documentation as exceeding 127 cm; common pitfall is shrinkage during dyeing affecting width compliance
