Import Tips & Compliance

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 weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification

Check for quantitative restrictions if from non-WTO countries; unbleached status must be evident without further processing
