Import Tips

• Verify yarn number averages 42 or lower using HTS formulas (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing for accurate classification

• Obtain certificates confirming 85%+ cotton content and unbleached status to avoid reclassification to bleached subheadings

• Monitor Chapter 52 quantitative limits on cotton imports; ensure origin complies with WTO allocations if applicable
