Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number (43-68) using HTS formulas like N = BYT/1,000 after removing sizing for accurate classification
• Obtain certificate if claiming hand-loomed status under note for 5208 to potentially qualify for lower duties
• Ensure documentation proves >85% cotton content to avoid reclassification to man-made fiber blends
