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
