Import Tips
• Verify fabric meets poplin/broadcloth criteria (plain weave, non-square, excludes specified weights/yarns) via lab testing for accurate HTS classification
• Provide mill certificates confirming unbleached status and synthetic filament yarn composition to avoid reclassification as dyed (5407.92)
