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
