Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and exact man-made mix for subheading 5210 compliance
• Provide weave analysis and yarn number calculations per US Note (a) using formulas like N = BYT/1,000 to avoid misclassification
• Ensure no bleaching or finishing; unbleached state must be documented to prevent shift to 5210.29
