Import Tips
• 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
