Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 69+ classification
• Provide lab test reports for fiber content (<85% cotton, mainly man-made) and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure unbleached status with documentation, as any bleaching shifts to 5210.21
