Import Tips
• Document average yarn number using US note formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) to prove '314' density classification
• Provide affidavits confirming no chemical processing for unbleached status; watch for staple length quotas in raw cotton notes
• Label rolls with exact weight per m² and cotton percentage; pitfall is classifying dyed versions here instead of 5209.42
