Import Tips

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

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm ≤42 classification

• Provide lab test reports for fiber content (>85% cotton) and weight (<100 g/m²) to avoid reclassification to higher weight subheadings

• Ensure dyeing is even and documented; common pitfall is mislabeling as unbleached (5208.21), triggering different duties
