Import Tips
• Label as 'bleached broadcloth' with exact fiber percentages and weave specs to comply with Chapter 55 notes
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring weight; provide g/m² certification to confirm poplin eligibility
• Use commercial invoices detailing end-use as apparel to prevent scrutiny as industrial fabric
