Import Tips
• Conduct yarn number testing per U.S. note formulas on imported condition fabric, disregarding fractions, to confirm 43-68 range
• Provide lab certificates for cotton content >85% and grammage <200 g/m² to support classification and avoid higher-duty headings
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as plain weave if it combines weaves; note allows combinations but must be wholly specified weaves
