Import Tips & Compliance

Retain mill certificates showing yarn number calculation per US note (a) and unbleached status to support classification

Avoid common pitfall of mis-declaring weight; measure Z' grams/m² post-sizing removal for accuracy

Label as 'poplin' only if warp/weft rib structure meets definition; otherwise risks 5208.11.20
