Import Tips
• 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 ≤100 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure bleaching process documentation; unbleached versions fall under 5208.11
