Import Tips

• Verify yarn number using official formulas from US notes (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing for accurate classification

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

• Ensure width measurement excludes selvage; widths over 220 cm must be precisely documented to fit this subheading
