Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using official formulas in Chapter 52 US notes (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing
• Obtain lab tests confirming ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure bleaching is plain (not yarn-dyed) as colored versions fall under 5208.32 or 5208.42
