Import Tips
• Conduct weave analysis to confirm plain weave and check against poplin/broadcloth exclusions in statistical notes
• Label rolls with exact weight per m² and fiber breakdown to facilitate customs verification
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring printing is permanent, not just surface-coated, which could affect duty treatment
