• Verify average yarn number using HTS formula (N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; must be 43-68 for this subheading
• Provide lab test reports confirming ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤100 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Check for cotton import quotas if from non-WTO countries; ensure printed side is declared accurately
