Import Tips
• Document weave as 'other' (not twill or satin) with photos; avoids confusion with 5208.42 series
• Use boiling method to remove sizing before weight/yarn number verification per US note
• Declare country of origin carefully due to cotton quota notes potentially affecting upstream materials
