Import Tips

• Document spandex as 'man-made fibers' explicitly; elastic yarns must be factored into average yarn number calculation

• Avoid common error of importing unbleached then bleaching domestically—entry must reflect imported bleached state

• Use commercial invoices specifying 'poplin or broadcloth (314)' to match statistical reporting requirements
