Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% flax and man-made fiber presence for quota compliance
• Include commercial invoice detailing weave type, weight, and yarn counts to match poplin specs and avoid reclassification
• Monitor man-made fiber restraints; obtain necessary visas or licenses for restricted categories
