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
