Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 85%+ artificial staple fibers, as blends may shift to 5515 or 5514
• Provide dyeing process documentation and colorfastness certificates to avoid customs disputes on 'dyed' classification
• Measure weave density and weight precisely against poplin definitions to prevent reclassification as broadcloth
