Import Tips
• Document square construction metrics precisely to distinguish from poplin or broadcloth under statistical notes
• Label merino wool origin accurately for traceability and to prevent reclassification under pure wool headings
• Watch for average yarn number limits; exceeding 68 may shift to other subheadings
