Import Tips
• Provide detailed yarn count and color specs per US note formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) for average yarn number verification
• Ensure plain weave is exclusive (no twill mixes) as per US note (b); samples may be requested at entry
• Check for quantitative restrictions if raw cotton origins apply indirectly via fabric production
