Import Tips & Compliance

Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm ≤42

Provide lab test reports for cotton content (>85%) and weight (≤200 g/m²) to avoid reclassification

Label as 'printed' with dyeing process details; common pitfall is misdeclaring plain-dyed as printed
