Import Tips
• Document square construction and yarn numbers to distinguish from poplin; audits often check against statistical notes
• Include bleaching certificates to prevent downgrade to unbleached rates or reclass to Chapter 52
• Avoid bulk packaging without retail intent, as it may shift to industrial fabric codes
