Import Tips
• Verify yarn number via lab testing using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm #69 or higher
• Provide detailed fiber content breakdown and weight certificates to avoid misclassification as coarser fabrics
• Check for 'dyed' vs 'different colors' distinction; mixed color yarns must show clear contrast in warp/weft
