Import Tips

Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 43-68 range for subheading compliance

Provide mill test certificates confirming 85%+ cotton content and weight >100 g/m² but ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification

Ensure fabric is truly unbleached (no chemical processing beyond raw state) as bleaching shifts to 5208.22
