Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number (43-68) using HTS formulas like N = BYT/1,000 after removing sizing to avoid misclassification
• Provide lab test reports confirming >85% cotton content and weight <100 g/m², as exceeding limits shifts to higher subheadings
• Ensure commercial invoice specifies 'printcloth (315)' to match statistical suffix and prevent customs holds
