Import Tips
• Verify the fabric width and confirm it meets 'in the piece' criteria, not pre-cut to finished garment shapes
• Provide lab tests proving 100% man-made fiber composition to avoid reclassification to cotton or blends
• Document the quilting process showing padding assembly by stitching, distinguishing from simple layered fabrics
