Import Tips & Compliance

Verify average yarn number using HTS formula (e.g

N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; fractions disregarded

Provide lab test reports confirming ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification

Ensure bleaching process documentation; common pitfall is misstating weight due to residual moisture
