Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton mixed with man-made fibers; discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Provide weave structure documentation proving oxford basketweave to avoid plain weave categorization under 5210.21
• Calculate average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• BT/Z) after desizing; ensure ≤42 for this subheading
