Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; must be 43-68 for this subheading
• Provide lab test reports confirming ≥85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure printing is on one or both sides; incomplete dyeing may shift to 5208.52
