Import Tips
• Label rolls with fiber breakdown and yarn number; CBP may require average yarn calculation using official formulas from U.S. notes
• Ensure commercial invoices specify 'of yarns of different colors' to avoid reclassification to plain dyed subheadings
• Check for prohibited origins under cotton quota notes if raw materials trace back to restricted countries
