Import Tips

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

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing, documenting measurements for CBP verification

• Provide lab tests confirming ≥85% cotton content and weight <200 g/m² to avoid reclassification to lower-number yarn subheadings

• Declare 'yarns of different colors' explicitly; uniform dyeing post-weaving may shift to 5208.39 or 5208.59
