Import Tips
• Submit fabric swatch samples for CBP verification of weave (plain only, no combinations unless exclusive)
• Calculate average yarn number across entire fabric width using HTS Note (b) formulas, disregarding fractions
• Ensure commercial invoice specifies 'bleached plain weave cotton fabric of number 50' to match statistical reporting
