Import Tips
• Specify roll width and length on commercial invoice; widths over 168 cm may trigger printcloth note scrutiny
• Ensure no multiple (folded) yarns if claiming sheeting exclusion; twill avoids most Chapter 55 note (b) issues
• For bulk imports, segregate colors to prevent mixing claims under 'yarns of different colors'
