Import Tips
• Document weave type (plain, non-square) and yarn counts to match poplin definition; request supplier specs
• Label fiber content accurately (e.g
• 60% polyester staple, 40% filament) for CBP review
• Avoid reclassification as apparel fabric under Chapter 62 if cut/sewn; import as greige or finished fabric only
