Import Tips
• Document average yarn number using Chapter 52 formulas (N=BYT/1,000) to prove compliance with Osnaburg specifications
• Ensure no napping or felting treatment; inspect for uniform plain weave excluding selvage per U.S. notes
• Check origin against cotton quota allocations; non-WTO countries face restrictions on raw cotton products
