Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using official formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm ≥69 classification
• Provide lab test reports for fiber content (>85% cotton) and weight (<200 g/m²) to avoid reclassification
• Ensure bleaching is plain (not yarn-dyed) as colored versions shift to 5208.32 or 5208.42
