Import Tips
• Calculate yarn number post-sizing removal via boiling test as per U.S. notes to meet 69+ requirement
• Include photos or samples showing 'yarns of different colors' to support classification over unbleached/bleached subheadings
• Watch for denim misclassification; lacks true denim twill spec from subheading note
