Import Tips
• Document dyeing process and colorfastness tests to confirm 'dyed' status under subheading 5210.31
• Calculate yarn number precisely per U.S. note formulas using post-scour weight to prevent undervaluation disputes
• Label origin and fiber content clearly; pitfall is bulk packaging mistaken for unbleached, shifting to 5210.11
