Import Tips
• Document average yarn number >26 and density >33 ends/picks per cm to confirm poplin exclusion criteria aren't violated
• Label as 'lining fabric' but classify based on objective weave specs, not end-use, to prevent customs challenges
• Avoid bulk packaging mimicking industrial rolls, which could trigger different statistical suffixes
