Import Tips
• Document weave as plain (excluding selvage) per US note (b) to qualify under plain weave subheading
• Weigh fabric post-sizing removal to confirm ≤200 g/m²; excess shifts to heavier categories
• Label as 'poplin or broadcloth (314)' if statistical suffix applies for accurate reporting
