Import Tips
• Include certification of average yarn number if challenged, using US note formulas for plain weave fabrics
• Declare print process (e.g
• reactive printing) to distinguish from dyed fabrics in adjacent subheadings
• Avoid bulk packaging misclassification; retail-ready bolts may qualify for different statistical suffixes
