Import Tips

• Document filament vs staple ratio precisely; importers often overlook filament dominance in mixes

• Include yarn number and ends/picks per cm to prove non-square poplin per note (a), avoiding sheeting misclass

• Label as 'printed' with production records; bulk shipments risk downgrade to unprinted 5516.22
