Import Tips

• Verify yarn number using HTS formula (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; must fall between 43-68 for this subheading

• Provide lab test reports confirming <85% cotton and man-made fiber mix to avoid reclassification to Chapter 52 pure cotton headings

• Ensure 'poplin' structure with distinct warp/weft rib is documented, as plain weave broadcloth without rib may shift to adjacent codes
