Import Tips

• Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm classification over 69

• Provide lab test reports for fiber content (>85% cotton) and weight per m² to avoid reclassification to lower headings

• Check quantitative restrictions on raw cotton inputs; ensure bleaching certification for Chapter 52 compliance
