Import Tips
• Measure thread count excluding selvage and confirm plain weave is exclusive per US Note (b) to prevent weave combination disputes
• Provide lab tests for weight (post-sizing removal) and cotton percentage to clear customs without delays
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring yarn number, which could shift to finer yarn subheadings with different duties
