Import Tips

Verify yarn number (43-68) using chapter 52 formulas like N = BYT/1,000 after removing sizing; fractions disregarded

Provide lab tests confirming 85%+ cotton content and weight 101-200 g/m² to avoid reclassification

Ensure discharge printing process documentation, as it specifically qualifies this printcloth subheading
