Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% artificial staple fibers mixed with filaments, as misclassification to 5515 can occur

• Provide weave specifications (plain, not square) and weight (<170 g/m² typical for poplin) in documentation to match statistical note (a)

• Ensure print is post-weave to avoid reclassification under unprinted headings; common pitfall is undervaluing printed premium
