Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number using Chapter 52 formula (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 U.S. cotton import quotas if applicable; ensure unbleached status with no optical brighteners
