Import Tips & Compliance

Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing, ensuring it falls between 43-68 for accurate classification

Provide lab test reports confirming <85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification to Chapter 52 pure cotton fabrics

Declare as unbleached only if no bleaching process applied; common pitfall is misdeclaring partially processed goods leading to penalties
