Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% polyester with cotton main mix; mislabeling leads to reclassification
• Provide weave specs and weight certificates to prove poplin/broadcloth status per Chapter 55 notes
• Ensure printing is post-weave to avoid Chapter 59 coated fabric headings
