Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm less than 85% cotton; provide detailed weave diagrams for jacquard classification
• Declare average yarn number accurately using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; retain mill certificates
• Avoid misclassification as plain weave by submitting fabric samples if challenged; watch for quantitative restrictions on cotton blends
