Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% artificial staple via lab tests to avoid reclassification to blended fiber headings
• Provide weave analysis confirming plain weave and printed finish; common pitfall is mislabeling as dyed
• Ensure statistical note compliance for 'other' category by documenting non-poplin/sheeting specs
