Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formula (N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm ≤42 for this subheading
• Provide lab test reports for weight (100-200 g/m²), cotton content ≥85%, and weave type to avoid reclassification
• Ensure dyeing is uniform; piece-dyed fabrics qualify, but printed ones shift to 5208.52
