Import Tips
• 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
