Import Tips
• Declare yarn number accurately using HTS formulas for average count to stay within 43-68 range
• Include certification of weight per m² and dye process to prevent reclassification as unbleached
• Watch for blending ratios; slight increases in cotton could push to Chapter 52 pure cotton headings
