Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 85% via lab tests; provide mill certificates to avoid reclassification
• Document yarn number (69+) using HTS Chapter 52 formulas; common pitfall is incorrect weight measurement post-sizing removal
• Include printing process details in invoices to confirm subheading 5208 applicability over unbleached
