Import Tips
• Use approved formulas for 'number' (e.g
• ST/10) with lab reports; CBP may test for clipped yarns as continuous
• Ensure no excessive sizing affects weight measurement—boil samples per U.S. note (a)
• Differentiate from certified hand-loomed (5208.19+); power-loom only here—provide production affidavits
