Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; must be 69+ for this subheading
• Provide lab test reports confirming 85%+ cotton content and weight ≤100 g/m² to avoid reclassification to heavier fabrics
• Ensure documentation distinguishes poplin's ribbed structure from standard plain weave to prevent shifts to 5208.11.20
