Import Tips

Verify exact cotton content via lab testing as required for Chapter 52; must be <85% cotton mixed mainly with MMF

Provide weave analysis and yarn number calculation documentation using Chapter 52 US Note formulas to confirm ≤42 number

Avoid misclassification by ensuring weight is measured post-sizing removal; common pitfall is exceeding 200 g/m² limit
