Import Tips
• Label spandex as man-made fiber; ensure total MMF content justifies 'mixed mainly or solely' phrasing
• Use boiling method to remove sizing for accurate yarn number calculation per U.S. note formulas
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'grey fabric' without yarn specs, leading to CBP queries
