Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using official formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; document calculations for CBP review
• Obtain lab tests confirming ≥85% cotton content and ≤100 g/m² weight to avoid reclassification to higher-duty subheadings
• Ensure bleached finish documentation; unbleached fabric shifts to 5208.11, potentially altering duty rates
