Import Tips
• Calculate average yarn number using official formulas (e.g
• BT/Z) after removing sizing for accurate classification
• Include mill test certificates showing weight per m² and bleaching certification
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as 100% cotton, which incurs different duties under 5208
