Import Tips
• Document average yarn number using Chapter 52 formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) to confirm (314) classification
• Avoid common pitfalls like improper weight declaration post-sizing removal; boil test if needed for compliance
• Label origin and fiber blend clearly to prevent CBP holds on mixed fiber verification
