Import Tips

• Verify yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 42 or lower for classification

• Provide lab test reports for fiber content (85%+ cotton) and weight (<200 g/m²) to avoid reclassification to higher-weight subheadings

• Ensure documentation specifies 'Oxford cloth (218)' and thread count to match statistical suffix .10; common pitfall is misstating weave
