Import Tips

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

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; must be 43-68 for this subheading

• Provide lab test reports confirming ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤100 g/m² to avoid reclassification

• Ensure dyeing is plain (solid color) without prints, as printed fabrics shift to 5208.52
