Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% polyester mixed mainly with cotton, as misdeclaration shifts to 5513 or 5210
• Provide weave analysis proving non-square poplin construction and weight >170 g/m² to match statistical note (a)
• Include dyeing process certification to avoid reclassification under undyed headings like 5514.11
