Import Tips
• Include flame-retardancy test reports if claiming modacrylic benefits, as fiber content must exceed 85% for classification
• Document end-use as industrial fabric, not apparel, to stay in woven fabrics heading
• Check for napping; statistical notes exclude certain napped types from poplin/broadcloth but duck is distinct
