Import Tips

Verify filament yarn composition via lab testing to confirm synthetic filament status and avoid reclassification to staple fiber fabrics

Include detailed weave specifications in invoices to distinguish from plain weave types like poplin or broadcloth in statistical notes

Ensure documentation proves 'specified in note 9' applicability for apparel end-use to prevent duty adjustments
