Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% polyester via lab testing to confirm classification; provide mill test certificates
• Ensure accurate weight documentation (≤170 g/m²) and dyeing process records to avoid misclassification as undyed
• Check for poplin weave compliance per statistical notes; common pitfall is confusing with square construction sheeting
