Import Tips

• Obtain and present the official government certification for hand-loomed production to qualify under this subheading and avoid reclassification

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

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing excessive sizing, ensuring it falls between 43 and 68

• Document fiber content exceeding 85% cotton and weight under 200 g/m² to prevent customs disputes on material or density
