Import Tips
• Conduct yarn number calculation per US Note (a) formulas, documenting total single yarns per cm² and weight metrics
• Avoid common pitfall of misstating fiber percentages; require supplier certificates matching lab tests
• Check for 'certified hand-loomed' status if applicable, which could shift to 5209/5210 handloom provisions
