Import Tips & Compliance

• Use formulas from US Note (a) like N = BYT/1,000 to confirm average yarn number 314, documenting all calculations

• Declare as 'other' poplin/broadcloth; include width, linear density, and total single yarns per cm² for verification

• Avoid misdeclaration as lighter fabric (<200 g/m² in 5211.42); test post-sizing removal
