Import Tips
• Document weave as 'poplin or broadcloth (314)' with photos showing distinct ribbed effect from yarn differential
• Ensure dyeing process documentation to distinguish from printed fabrics under 5208.52
• Avoid common pitfall of weight mismeasurement; test post-scouring for accurate g/m² under 200 limit
