Import Tips
• Verify yarn count and weight exceed poplin thresholds per statistical note (c) to avoid reclassification as sheeting
• Provide lab test reports confirming 100% synthetic filament composition and dyeing process for customs clearance
• Label rolls with exact width, weight, and weave type to prevent undervaluation penalties
