Import Tips

• 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
