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 printed) to stay in 5208; common pitfall is misdeclaring yarn count
