Import Tips

Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm ≤42 classification

Provide lab test reports for weight (<100 g/m²), cotton content (>85%), and unbleached status to avoid reclassification

Check U.S. cotton import quotas if applicable; ensure origin documentation for non-WTO countries
