Import Tips
• Test for filament vs staple ratio; filaments must dominate mix to stay in 5516.21, avoiding 5513
• Provide statistical note compliance declaration; common pitfall is incorrect yarn number reporting
• For retail cuts, separate from bulk to prevent set classification under different rules
