• Submit detailed yarn count calculations using US note formulas (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) to prove average yarn number

• Ensure dyeing process documentation shows even coloration across warp and weft, avoiding reclassification as unbleached

• Watch for set imports; if paired with linings, may classify as 5212.25 for yarns of different colors
