Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% man-made fibers via lab tests to avoid reclassification to cotton blends

• Include detailed printing method documentation to confirm 'printed' status under bed linen definitions

• Ensure pillowcases are not sold as sets with duvet covers, which may shift to other bed linen subheadings
