Import Tips

• Include detailed yarn specs in commercial invoice; test for twist measurement using standard ASTM methods

• Ensure no fusible coating, as that would reclassify under 5903; document as unfinished woven fabric

• Monitor for exceeding thread count limits (warp >142 or filling >71/cm) to avoid higher subheadings
