Import Tips
• Provide detailed construction specs (ends/picks, yarn numbers) in entry docs to confirm poplin status
• Ensure 'mixed mainly with man-made filaments' claim with lab tests; avoid pitfalls of filament/staple misratio
• For apparel end-use, check if cut-and-sewn elsewhere shifts to Chapter 62 duties
