Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using HTS formula (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; fractions disregarded
• Provide lab test reports confirming ≥85% cotton content and weight >100 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no bleaching or dyeing; unbleached means natural color only, common pitfall is minimal processing
