Import Tips

Use laboratory test reports to confirm average yarn number via HTS formulas (e.g

N = BYT/1000) post-sizing removal

Declare exact ply configuration (e.g

100/3) and ensure no retail put-up to stay in industrial yarn subheadings

Monitor quantitative limits for cotton origins; Pima from non-quota countries like Peru may have specific allocations
