Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² via lab testing and provide weave certification to confirm poplin structure per subheading note
• Include mill test certificate showing ≥85% cotton content and unbleached status; check for quantitative restrictions on cotton imports
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no bleaching or dyeing; common pitfall is incorrect yarn number calculation using US note formulas
