Import Tips
• Confirm poplin specs (not square, >200g excludes low yarn count) per statistical note (b) to prevent reclassification
• Pair with dyeing invoices, as colorfastness tests may be required for apparel end-use declarations
• Watch for yarn number averages; 26+ may disqualify from certain poplin definitions
