Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% artificial staple and filament mix, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification
• Provide dyeing process documentation and yarn specs to match 'poplin' statistical notes and avoid duty adjustments
• Ensure invoice details weight, weave type, and average yarn number to prevent holds at customs
