Import Tips
• Document spandex as man-made fiber and confirm cotton <85%; elastane content requires stretch testing for compliance
• Avoid denim misclassification by proving weft yarns don't match subheading note criteria for 5211.42
• Include commercial invoices specifying average yarn number per US note (a) for accurate tariff computation
