Import Tips & Compliance

Verify average yarn number using official formulas (e.g

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

Provide lab test reports confirming ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification

Declare as unbleached only if no bleaching process applied; common pitfall is misdeclaring minimally processed grey goods
