Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify average yarn number using Chapter 52 formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing, ensuring it falls between 43-68
• Provide lab test reports confirming <85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification to 5208
• Declare as unbleached (no bleaching process applied) with mill certificates to prevent duty shifts to 5210.21
