Import Tips

• Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; document calculations for CBP review

• Provide lab tests confirming <85% cotton content and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification to lower-number subheadings

• Ensure bleaching process documentation; common pitfall is mislabeling unbleached goods as bleached
