Import Tips
• Use square meters per kg (S) and total yarns (T) formula for accurate yarn number verification during CBP exam
• Document 'wholly of basketweave' excluding selvage per U.S. note (b); blends with other weaves risk reclassification
• Avoid common error of declaring as hand-loomed without certification from exporting country's agency
