Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 43-68 range for subheading compliance
• Provide lab test reports certifying >=85% cotton content and weight <=100 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure dyeing process documentation; common pitfall is mislabeling yarn count leading to higher duties
