Import Tips

• Submit yarn count certificates using formulas like BT/Z for average number, ensuring per single yarn basis for subheading

• Confirm not 'put up for retail' via packaging photos; bulk only to stay in 5205

• Monitor quantitative restrictions indirectly via raw cotton notes if traceability required
