Import Tips
• 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
