Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formula (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm ≤42
• Provide lab test reports for fiber content ≥85% cotton and weight ≤100 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no bleaching or dyeing; unbleached means natural cotton color only, common pitfall is mislabeling processed goods
