Import Tips & Compliance
• Calculate average yarn number using official formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 43-68 range
• Provide lab test reports verifying 85%+ cotton content and weight under 200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Declare printed patterns accurately; common pitfall is misstating weave as other than plain, leading to audits
