Import Tips

Verify average yarn number using Chapter 52 US Note (a) formulas like N = BYT/1,000 after removing sizing for accurate classification

Provide lab test reports confirming >85% cotton content and weight <100 g/m² to avoid reclassification to heavier fabrics

Ensure documentation proves 'yarns of different colors' to distinguish from single-color subheadings
