Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% polyester staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification

Provide weave analysis and weight certification (gsm >170) in documentation to match statistical notes for poplin

Ensure printing is post-weave and not considered a coating, which could shift to Chapter 59
