Import Tips
• Conduct yarn count verification against statistical notes to ensure not reclassified as poplin or broadcloth
• Include commercial invoices specifying filament vs. staple fiber to stay in Chapter 54
• Watch for over-declaration of width, as notes limit certain types like printcloth to under 168 cm
