Import Tips
• Document average yarn number using US note formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) to ensure it fits 5208 limits
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling weave; sateen must have warp-faced satin structure per HTS definitions
• Include commercial invoice detailing g/m² weight and unbleached status for CBP review
