Import Tips

Verify average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; fractions disregarded

Provide lab tests confirming <85% cotton content and exact weight to avoid reclassification to Chapter 52 pure cotton headings

Ensure 'sheeting (313)' style matches U.S. specifications; common pitfall is misstating thread count leading to audits
