Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formula (N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; must fall between 43-68 for this subheading
• Provide lab test reports confirming >=85% cotton content and weight >100 g/m² but <=200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure printing is considered 'printed' per HTS notes; avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring weave as satin
