Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; fractions disregarded
• Provide lab test reports confirming ≥85% cotton content and exact weight per m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no bleaching or dyeing has occurred, as this shifts to 5208.22 or 5208.32 subheadings
