Import Tips

• Verify yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 43-68 range

• Provide lab test reports for fiber content to prove <85% cotton and man-made mix; avoid misclassification as 100% cotton

• Ensure dyeing is uniform and documented, as color fastness tests may be required for apparel end-use
