Import Tips
• Ensure invoices specify 'poplin or broadcloth' terminology matching HTS description for smooth clearance
• Test for excessive sizing; must be removed via boiling for accurate weight/yarn number determination
• Distinguish from canvas weaves; improper weave ID leads to 5212.19 or duck fabric classifications
