Import Tips

Verify yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm #69 or higher

Provide lab test reports for fiber content (<85% cotton, mainly man-made) and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification

Ensure no bleaching treatment; unbleached status requires documentation from manufacturer
