Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formula (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm ≤42 for this subheading
• Provide lab test reports certifying >85% cotton content and weight >100 g/m² but ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure bleaching process documentation as 'bleached' per Chapter 52 notes to prevent shifts to unbleached categories
