Import Tips

Test for square construction and yarn count to differentiate from sheeting (note d); misfits cause duty shifts

Declare average yarn number precisely if >170 g/m² to avoid broadcloth exclusion traps

For apparel end-use, pair with correct country-of-origin docs to leverage trade agreements
