Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formula (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 43-68 range
• Provide lab test reports certifying ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Declare yarn color differences accurately; uniform color yarns shift to 5208.31-5208.39
