Import Tips
• Provide yarn count details using US Note formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) to substantiate twill classification
• Label as 'printed' with swatches; CBP may test for dyestuff permanence to avoid reclassification
• Watch for quota implications if staple length fits 5201 notes, even for fabrics; declare origin accurately
