Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using HTS formula (N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 43-68 range and sheeting (313) specs
• Provide lab test reports for fiber content (<85% cotton, mainly MMF) and weight (<200 g/m²) to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no bleaching or finishing; unbleached status must match invoice and mill certification
