Import Tips

Verify fiber composition via lab testing to confirm artificial filament base with synthetic mix exceeding 50% for accurate classification

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

Ensure documentation specifies average yarn number and gsm to meet poplin definitions and prevent reclassification
