Import Tips
• Verify yarn color composition via lab tests to confirm 'different colors' and exclude denim/jacquard for accurate HTS 5512.99.00.05 classification
• Provide detailed weave specs (e.g
• thread count, weight) in commercial invoice to avoid reclassification as printcloth or sheeting
• Ensure Certificate of Origin for preferential duty rates; common pitfall is mislabeling multi-color as solid, leading to audits
