Import Tips
• Verify exact yarn number using the chapter formula (N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 43-68 range
• Provide lab test reports certifying >85% cotton content and weight <200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure bleaching process documentation as 'bleached' per HTS definition to prevent shifting to unbleached subheadings
