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
