Import Tips
• Include mill test certificates showing gsm, construction, and yarn counts to substantiate sheeting classification
• Label as 'printed' only if color is applied post-weaving to avoid dyestuff-in-fiber disputes
• Check for napping; statistical notes allow it but document to prevent reclassification
