Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formula (e.g
• BT/Z) on lab-tested samples to confirm ≤42, as fractions are disregarded
• Provide mill certificates showing <85% cotton content and bleached finish; declare exact g/m² weight to avoid reclassification
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as 100% cotton—ensure man-made fiber mix is documented to prevent duty hikes
