Import Tips
• Measure average yarn number per US note formula, disregarding fractions, to ensure ≥69 classification
• Include commercial invoice specifying poplin/broadcloth type and bleached status for CBP review
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring weight; test post-scouring as per chapter notes
