Import Tips
• Document plaid as 'yarns of different colors' not printed; dyeing yarn pre-weave is key for 5208.4
• Test for excessive sizing removal via boiling to get accurate weight and yarn number per US notes
• Batch imports small to verify classification before large orders, avoiding penalties for under-declaration
