Import Tips

• Verify average yarn number using Chapter 52 formulas (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 43-68 range

• Obtain certification if claiming hand-loomed status under US note for 5208 to potentially qualify for preferences

• Ensure discharge printing is documented as it distinguishes from standard printed fabrics under subheading 5208.52
