Import Tips
• Certify linear meters per kg (Y) and total single yarns per cm² (T) for accurate 'number' calculation
• Declare exact construction (e.g
• 10x8 yarns/cm) to prevent disputes over plain weave classification
• Non-Mexico origins face strict quotas; verify country allocations in Chapter 52 U.S. notes
