Import Tips
• Include detailed blend composition affidavits; viscose-cotton ratios often scrutinized for Chapter 52 vs 55 boundary
• Document non-retail intent with end-use statements or buyer contracts to prevent reclassification as retail yarn
• Measure yarn number after boiling off sizing per US note formula (N=BYT/1000) for accurate 52-80 nm verification
