Import Tips
• Label with exact percentages (e.g
• 60/40 polyester/wool) and specify 'combed' to match statistical suffix 410
• Prepare weave analysis reports confirming plain weave not exceeding poplin exclusions in statistical notes
• Watch for reclassification if wool content tests below 36%; use accredited labs for pre-shipment verification
