Import Tips
• Provide statistical suffix documentation matching '314' for poplin/broadcloth; mismatches lead to liquidation issues
• Measure fabric weight post-scouring to confirm ≤100 g/m²; retain mill test certificates
• Label rolls with yarn number, weave type (plain), and bleaching process to support classification claims
