Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using HTS formula (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 69+ classification
• Provide lab test reports certifying ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤100 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure bleaching process documentation as non-reactive to prevent disputes over 'bleached' status
