Import Tips
• Declare average yarn number using Chapter 52 formula (e.g
• BT/Z) to substantiate classification; retain calculation records
• Ensure printed pattern covers sufficient area to qualify under 5211; partial prints may be reclassified to unprinted subheadings
• Avoid bulk packaging misdeclaration as retail; use commercial invoices specifying end-use for smoother clearance
