Import Tips

Verify the fabric is printed over at least 85% of its surface to qualify under printed subheadings; provide dyeing and printing process documentation

Include lab test reports confirming 100% polyester filament yarn composition to avoid reclassification to cotton-blend headings

Measure weave density and weight to ensure it doesn't meet poplin/broadcloth definitions, which shift to earlier statistical suffixes
