Import Tips & Compliance

• Conduct desizing and weight tests post-import simulation to match US note requirements for accurate grammage

• Declare exact construction (threads per cm) to affirm plain weave per subheading notes

• Watch for misdeclaration as lighter poplin under 5208 if weight is borderline
