Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to prove polyester filament composition meets the 85% threshold
• Specify weave type (e.g
• plain poplin) and confirm not square construction per chapter notes to avoid sheeting misclassification
• Watch for pitfalls in color verification—dyed after weaving may classify differently
