Import Tips

• Verify average yarn number using HTS Chapter 52 formula (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing, ensuring it is 42 or lower for this subheading

• Provide lab test reports confirming ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤100 g/m² to avoid reclassification to higher-weight categories

• Include commercial invoice detailing weave (plain), printing method, and g/m² to prevent customs disputes on fabric specifications
