Import Tips

• Submit yarn count and construction specs matching chapter note definitions for twill to avoid plain weave disputes

• Use commercial invoices detailing 'unbleached' status; bleaching post-import can trigger duty adjustments

• Check for square construction; if not, may shift per statistical notes but stays in 5513.13 for twill
