Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fabric weight under 170 gsm and non-square construction via lab testing to confirm poplin classification per statistical note (a)
• Include detailed weave specs and yarn count certification in commercial invoice to avoid misclassification as sheeting
• Ensure polyester staple fiber content exceeds 85% with mill test reports, as blends may shift to other subheadings
