Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify the weave is plain and not square, as this distinguishes poplin from other fabrics

• Confirm the viscose content is below 85% by weight and that polyester is present as filaments

• Ensure the fabric is not 'made up' or cut to shape, which would exclude it from Chapter 55
