Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and declare accurately to avoid misclassification
• Provide weave analysis and yarn number calculations per US Note (a) using formulas like N = BYT/1,000
• Ensure printing is post-weaving; pre-printed may shift to dyed subheadings like 5210.52
