Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 85%+ acrylic staple fibers, as blends under 85% shift to other subheadings
• Include weave specifications and gsm in invoices to prove poplin classification per statistical note (a)
• Avoid misclassification as sheeting by documenting non-square construction and thread count
