Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton mixed mainly with MMF, as misdeclaration shifts to Chapter 52 pure cotton headings
• Calculate average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) post-sizing removal to ensure 43-68 range for this subheading
• Obtain weight certification per m² ≤200 g/m²; common pitfall is overlooking moisture regain adjustments in documentation
