Import Tips

• Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

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

• Provide lab test reports proving ≥85% cotton content and weight <200 g/m²; declare 'Oxford cloth (218)' explicitly in entry docs

• Watch for quantitative limits on cotton imports; ensure origin qualifies under U.S. notes to prevent quota overruns
