Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing for accurate classification within 43-68 range
• Obtain lab tests confirming 85%+ cotton content and weight under 200 g/m² to avoid reclassification to heavier fabrics
• Ensure print is considered 'printed' per Chapter 52 notes; dyeing alone may shift to unprinted subheadings
