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
