Import Tips

Verify fabric meets poplin definition per statistical note (a) with accurate weight and yarn number documentation to avoid reclassification

Provide dyeing process certificates and fiber content lab tests for Customs compliance; common pitfall is misdeclared weight leading to duties under different subheadings

Ensure roll labeling includes HTS code, country of origin, and care instructions to prevent FDA or CPSC holds on apparel-bound imports
