Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 43-68 range
• Provide lab test reports for cotton content ≥85% and weight to avoid reclassification
• Note quantitative restrictions on raw cotton; ensure fabric meets bleached plain weave criteria
