Import Tips
• Verify weave meets 'duck' criteria (durable plain weave, not poplin/broadcloth) and weight exceeds printcloth limits per statistical notes
• Provide lab tests confirming 100% artificial staple fibers (e.g
• polyester) to avoid reclassification to Chapter 52 cotton fabrics
• Include dyeing process documentation; ensure color fastness certificates for customs valuation
