Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using HTS formula (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 43-68 range
• Provide lab test reports for fiber content (>85% cotton) and weight (<100 g/m²) to avoid reclassification
• Ensure printing is post-weaving; pre-printed may shift to unprinted subheadings
