Import Tips & Compliance

Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 43-68 range

Provide lab test reports for fiber content (>85% cotton) and weight (≤100 g/m²) to avoid reclassification

Ensure invoices specify plain weave and multi-color yarns to prevent shifts to solid color subheadings
