Import Tips

• Check for quantitative restrictions if staple length <1-1/8 inches per U.S. notes, especially non-WTO origins

• Label rolls with width, weight, and yarn count; common error is incorrect average yarn number calculation

• Obtain government certification if claiming hand-loomed to potentially shift to lower-duty 5209
