Import Tips
• Lab certify yarn numbers to confirm not meeting excluded poplin specs (e.g
• avoid 26 or lower average)
• Declare as 'other' explicitly if not fitting sheeting/printcloth; provide construction diagrams
• Avoid bulk packaging mislabeled as industrial to prevent end-use reclassification
