Import Tips
• Obtain lab certification for fiber content (>85% cotton) and yarn number calculation per US Note (a) using formulas like N = BYT/1,000
• Provide bleaching process documentation to confirm it meets HTS bleached criteria; unbleached versions go to 5208.21
• Avoid misclassification as denim (5209.42) by ensuring no 3/4-thread twill weave
