Import Tips
• Use average yarn number calculation per US note (b) formulas to confirm classification if yarns vary
• Obtain origin certificates especially for quota-sensitive cotton origins to avoid quantitative restrictions
• Avoid pitfall of bulk packaging misclassification; specify if for retail vs industrial to influence valuation
