Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber composition via lab test; must be <85% cotton mixed mainly with MMF to qualify
• Provide weave analysis and yarn number calculation per US Note (a) to confirm 'number 69 or higher'
• Avoid common pitfall of misclassifying bleached versions under 5210.21; declare as unbleached explicitly
