Import Tips
• Document average yarn number using US note formulas (e.g
• BT/Z) to support classification if audited
• Label as 'certified hand-loomed' if applicable for potential duty relief under heading 5208 provisions
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring weave; provide photos or swatches showing sateen (warp-faced satin)
