Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton and provide detailed composition certificates

Measure average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

N = BYT/1,000) and include calculations in documentation

Avoid misclassification by ensuring weight is documented post-sizing removal; common pitfall is exceeding 200 g/m²
