Import Tips
• Include weave analysis confirming plain weave without multiple/cabled yarns to comply with poplin/broadcloth exclusions
• Label fiber content accurately as acetate (artificial) to prevent reclassification as synthetic under 5407 or natural under 5208
• Check for selvage exclusion in weave specs during customs valuation to match statistical note (a)
