Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; fractions disregarded
• Provide lab test reports confirming ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Label fiber content accurately; common pitfall is misstating yarn colors leading to duty disputes
