Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number meets 314 metric 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 to lighter fabrics
• Check for bleached-only processing; any dyeing shifts to 5209.31 subheading, triggering different duties
