Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain lab test reports verifying <85% cotton content and exact yarn number (43-68) using HTS Chapter 52 formulas to avoid reclassification
• Include bleaching process certification and weight per m² documentation; common pitfall is miscalculating average yarn number by ignoring sizing removal
• Declare as 'other' fabrics, not denim or special weaves, and check for quantitative restrictions on cotton components from non-WTO countries
