Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to ensure <85% cotton; discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Provide weave certification confirming satin (not 3/4-thread twill) and unbleached status in documentation
• Calculate average yarn number per Chapter 52 notes to avoid weight-based misclassification
