Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing for accurate classification
• Provide lab test reports confirming ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure printing is post-weaving; pre-printed (yarn-dyed) may shift to 5208.52 subheading
