Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using HTS formula (N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm classification under number 69+
• Obtain certificate of analysis for food-contact compliance if used in cheese or straining applications; ensure unbleached state
• Avoid misclassification as lower number fabric by providing lab test reports on weight and weave density
