Import Tips
• Provide weave diagrams or photos to distinguish twill from plain weave, preventing misclassification as poplin
• Ensure bleaching process documentation; over-bleached or optically brightened may require 5514.19.20
• Check for shrinkage testing compliance, as upholstery fabrics face strict performance standards
