Import Tips
• Provide weave analysis confirming plain weave (no jacquard patterns) and yarn count certification to avoid 5208.39 disputes
• Label fiber content accurately; blends over 15% non-cotton risk reclassification during entry
• Test for excessive sizing which must be removed before weight/yarn number determination per US note
