Import Tips

• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and man-made fiber mix; discrepancies can lead to reclassification

• Calculate average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing, ensuring 42 or lower for this subheading

• Provide weave diagrams and yarn color specs in documentation to avoid disputes over 'yarns of different colors' provision
