Import Tips
• Label bolts with exact width, weight per m², and yarn number calculations to facilitate CBP verification against HTS specs
• Avoid common pitfall of misstating weight; measure after boiling to remove sizing as per U.S. note (b)
• For high-volume imports, apply for binding ruling on yarn number to preempt disputes
