Import Tips
• Document yarn twist (<472 turns/m for flat fabrics if applicable) per statistical note (b) to support classification
• Use third-party verification for 'different colors' claim; CBP often challenges visual determinations
• Separate components if sold in sets; individual fabric avoids set rules under other chapters
