Import Tips

Verify average yarn number using Chapter 52 formulas (e.g

N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing, ensuring it falls between 43-68 for this subheading

Provide mill test certificates confirming 85%+ cotton content and weight under 200 g/m² to avoid reclassification during customs exam

Note quantitative restrictions on raw cotton inputs; source from WTO members to prevent entry bans under U.S. notes
