Import Tips
• Conduct weave analysis to confirm 'duck except plain weave'; CBP may inspect samples for twill/basket structure
• Batch test for fiber content uniformity to avoid partial rejections on blend ratios
• Declare statistical suffix 219 accurately; mismatches lead to delays in heavy fabric processing
