Import Tips
• Calculate average yarn number using official formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm ≤42 for this subheading
• Provide lab test reports verifying ≥85% cotton content and weight >100 g/m² but ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure printing is considered a 'printed' fabric per Chapter 52 notes; unprinted versions fall under 5208.42
