Import Tips
• Obtain accurate fiber content certification as mixtures must be less than 85% cotton with man-made fibers predominant
• Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) and document weight per m² to confirm under 200 g
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring bleaching process is completed prior to import; unbleached falls under 5210.22
