Import Tips
• Provide bleaching process certification and yarn number details to confirm poplin specs per statistical note (b)
• Ensure width measurement excludes selvage; common error is classifying narrower widths under 5309.21.4010
• Label fiber blend accurately to prevent shifts to synthetic headings like 5407 if non-flax exceeds limits
