Import Tips
• Conduct yarn number averaging per US note (a) formula to confirm cotton yarn specs and avoid reclassification
• Provide commercial invoices detailing thread count (313) and weight to prevent delays at customs
• Watch for quantitative restrictions on raw cotton inputs under 5201 notes if fabric traces to restricted origins
