Import Tips
• Calculate average yarn number per US note (e.g
• BT/Z formula) using post-boiling weight for accurate ≤42 declaration
• Label rolls with exact g/m², cotton %, and print type to prevent audits shifting to higher-duty codes
• Avoid common pitfall of misstating weave; confirm 100% plain weave excluding selvage
