• Submit construction diagrams showing more than 472 turns/meter exclusion for flat fabrics to affirm poplin status
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as printcloth by confirming no square construction with >33 ends/picks per cm²
• Certify artificial filament origin (e.g
• viscose from cellulose) with manufacturer specs for Chapter 54 eligibility
