Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton; declare exact percentages on entry docs

Measure average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing

Avoid misclassification as bleached fabric (5210.29); unbleached means no chemical processing
