Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using HTS formula (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 69+ classification
• Provide lab test reports for fiber content to prove <85% cotton mixed with man-made fibers
• Avoid misclassification as 100% cotton (5208) by documenting man-made fiber blend
