Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and man-made fiber dominance for accurate classification
• Provide weave structure documentation proving plain weave poplin/broadcloth to avoid reclassification as other weaves
• Check weight per m² post-scouring; common pitfall is misdeclaring due to sizing affecting measured grams
