Import Tips
• Document weave as wholly poplin (excluding selvage) per US note (b) to confirm heading 5212 eligibility
• Include commercial invoice specifying print method (e.g
• reactive dye) and g/m² weight certification
• Avoid common pitfall of misstating weight; use boiling method to remove sizing before measurement
