Import Tips

• Document average yarn number using Chapter 52 formulas (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) to prove ≤42 classification

• Include commercial invoice specifying 'sheeting (313)' and bleaching process to prevent customs disputes

• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling weight; test post-sizing removal as per US notes
