Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% artificial staple and mainly cotton mix per HTS 5516; misdeclaration risks reclassification
• Provide weave specs (ends/picks per cm², yarn number, weight) in documentation to prove poplin status excluding note (a) exceptions
• Ensure dyeing is even and colorfast; common pitfall is fading tests failing, leading to duty disputes
