Import Tips

• Verify yarn composition via lab tests to confirm synthetic filament and multi-color status, avoiding misclassification as uniform color fabrics

• Provide weave certificates showing it's not poplin, broadcloth, or sheeting per chapter notes to prevent reclassification

• Label fabrics clearly with fiber content and country of origin; common pitfall is undervaluing based on weight under 170 gsm
