Import Tips
• Document spandex as man-made fiber in composition; elastic content affects duty but stays in 5210 if cotton dominant
• Retain mill test certificates for yarn count verification, as batiste's fineness is key to this subheading
• Avoid bulk packaging mislabeled for retail; declare as greige if unfinished to prevent higher duties
