Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm ≥85% non-textured polyester filaments per statistical note (a)
• Provide weave construction details (e.g
• plain weave specs) to avoid misclassification as sheeting or printcloth
• Include invoices specifying average yarn number to exclude lower-number exclusions in poplin definitions
