• N = BYT/1,000) and confirm >69 to avoid reclassification to lower subheadings
• Provide lab test reports certifying >85% cotton content and bleached finish; common pitfall is mislabeling unbleached as bleached
• For food contact use, include FDA compliance docs; check origin quotas if applicable under Chapter 52 notes
