Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm artificial filament exceeds 50% for main classification, with wool as minor component

Provide mill certificates documenting unbleached state and weave type to avoid misclassification as dyed or printed

Ensure documentation specifies 'poplin' construction per statistical notes to prevent shifts to sheeting categories
