Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm ≥69 classification
• Provide lab test reports for fiber content (≥85% cotton) and weight (≤200 g/m²) to avoid reclassification
• Ensure dyeing is plain (not yarn-dyed or printed) to stay in 5208; common pitfall is misdeclaring plain dyed as printed
