Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 85%+ acrylic staple fibers, as blends under 85% shift to 5515
• Provide weave structure documentation to distinguish poplin from sheeting during customs review
• Avoid misdeclaration as dyed; unbleached status requires no colorfastness certificates
