Import Tips

• Calculate and document average yarn number using Chapter 52 formulas (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) to substantiate duck classification

• Provide commercial invoices specifying width, weight per m², and weave type to prevent exam delays

• Avoid pitfall of bulk packaging misdeclared as retail; ship in industrial rolls for correct other woven fabric status
