Import Tips

Verify yarn composition via lab tests to confirm 85%+ cuprammonium rayon content and different color yarns per statistical notes

Obtain mill certificates documenting weave type (poplin) and weight to avoid misclassification as sheeting or printcloth

Declare selvage exclusions accurately; common pitfall is failing to specify filament type leading to Chapter 55 reclassification
