Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton mixed mainly with man-made fibers; discrepancies lead to reclassification

• Calculate average yarn number using HTS formula (BYT/1000) post-sizing removal for accurate number 42 or lower declaration

• Include commercial invoice detailing weight per m², dye process, and weave type to avoid CBP scrutiny on Oxford structure
