Import Tips & Compliance

Verify yarn number using official formulas from Chapter 52 US notes (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 to lower-count subheadings

Ensure printing is permanent (not washable paint) to qualify as 'printed' under heading 5208; common pitfall is mislabeling dyed fabrics
