Import Tips

Verify yarn number using HTS formula (N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing, ensuring average between 43-68 for this subheading

Provide lab test reports confirming <85% cotton content and bleached finish to avoid reclassification to 5208

Declare thread count accurately as 'printcloth (315)' to match statistical suffix; common pitfall is mismeasuring picks per inch
