Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% synthetic staple and mainly cotton mix, as misdeclaration shifts to Chapter 52
• Provide weave structure documentation proving non-square construction to meet poplin/broadcloth definition per statistical notes
• Avoid common pitfalls like incorrect weight reporting; measure g/m² precisely to stay over 170 g/m² threshold
