Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formula (e.g
• BT/Z) post-sizing removal to confirm 314 classification and avoid reclassification
• Provide lab test reports certifying >85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to prevent duty adjustments
• Include bleaching process documentation; common pitfall is misdeclaring unbleached fabric as bleached
