Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formula (N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm ≥69 classification
• Provide lab test reports certifying ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Check for poplin/broadcloth weave structure (tight weft yarns creating characteristic ridges) via fabric samples
