Import Tips
• Submit fabric samples for weave verification (satin structure) as CBP may challenge based on visual inspection
• Document average yarn number using Chapter 52 formulas (e.g
• BT/Z) to confirm classification parameters
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring weight; use post-scouring weight after removing sizing
