Import Tips

• Verify average yarn number using official formulas (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 69 or higher for classification

• Provide lab test reports proving 85%+ cotton content and weight between 100-200 g/m² to avoid reclassification

• Ensure printing is permanent and not just surface treatment, as temporary prints may shift to unprinted subheadings
