If dyed or printed instead of unbleached
Dyeing or printing moves the fabric out of unbleached/bleached headings into colored woven fabrics.
If made from synthetic filament like polyester instead of artificial viscose
Synthetic filament yarns (e.g., polyester) are classified in heading 5407, not artificial filament in 5408.

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
