Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using Chapter 52 formula (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing, ensuring average ≤42 constant for accurate classification
• Provide lab test reports confirming ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification to higher-duty subheadings
• Label as 'jacquard woven' with pattern details; common pitfall is misdeclaring weave type leading to audits
