Import Tips
• Conduct yarn number averaging per US Note formulas to confirm classification; retain boiling weight records
• Label as 'napped' with photos/micrographs in entry docs to avoid downgrade to plain twill subheadings
• Monitor Chapter 52 quotas if raw cotton origins trigger limits on processed fabrics
