Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% artificial staple and mainly cotton mix for Chapter 55 classification
• Provide weave specs (gsm, ends/picks per cm, yarn number) in documentation to prove 'sheeting' per statistical notes
• Avoid misclassification as printcloth by ensuring it exceeds printcloth specs or isn't strictly 43-68 yarn numbers
