Import Tips
• Obtain lab test reports verifying cotton content >85%, weight <100 g/m², and average yarn number 43-68 using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000)
• Provide bleaching process documentation; unbleached versions classify under 5208.11
• Avoid common pitfalls like miscalculating yarn number by not removing sizing or ignoring single yarns in folded yarns
