Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 85%+ polyester staple fibers, as blends under 85% shift to 5515
• Include weave structure documentation (e.g
• ends/picks per cm) to distinguish poplin from sheeting during customs review
• Avoid misclassification as finished garments; declare as bulk fabric to prevent higher apparel duties
