Import Tips

• Document weave as 3/4-thread twill via technical specs to distinguish from plain weaves excluded in chapter notes

• Check for square construction pitfalls; non-square may qualify as poplin/broadcloth alternative if lighter

• Label as 'bleached' accurately; any coloration requires reclassification to dyed subheadings
