Import Tips
• Conduct yarn number calculation per U.S. notes (using BYT/1000 formula) to confirm average meets tariff specs
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'canvas' without specifying duck weave; customs requires precise terminology
• For roll imports, ensure no retail packaging to prevent classification as Chapter 63 made-ups
