Import Tips
• Include commercial invoices specifying 'napped sheeting' and grammage; mismatches cause delays at entry
• Test for average yarn number using U.S. note formulas if challenged, especially for multiple or cabled yarns
• Beware bulk packaging misdeclared as retail—fabric in rolls stays in 5209; cut pieces may shift
