Import Tips
• Confirm the fabric is unbleached and not treated with any dye or print, as this determines classification under 5513.19.00
• State the average yarn number and thread count clearly on the customs declaration
• If the fabric is sold in cut pieces for apparel, ensure it is not 'made up' within the meaning of Section XI Note 7, which would exclude it from Chapter 55
