Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton mixed with man-made fibers for accurate classification
• Provide weave structure documentation proving plain weave poplin with yarn number 42 or lower to avoid reclassification
• Check for quantitative restrictions on cotton content and ensure weight does not exceed 200 g/m² post-sizing removal
