Import Tips
• Ensure documentation proves ≤85% cotton—no, wait, Chapter 52 requires cotton but blends possible; declare exact %
• Use formulas from US notes (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) for yarn number on entry to support classification
• Avoid misdeclaration as 'greige' without printcloth specs, risking higher duties under residual codes
