Import Tips
• Certify spandex as principal man-made fiber in mix; declare percentages accurately to prevent shifts to pure cotton headings
• Use standard yarn number calculation per US note (e.g
• BT/Z formula) if questioned on average yarn metrics for tariff purposes
• Avoid retail packaging; ship in bulk rolls to sidestep 'for retail sale' interpretations that could invoke different statistical suffixes
