Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and qualify under Chapter 52; misclassification to 100% cotton headings risks penalties
• Provide weave diagrams and yarn count calculations per U.S. notes (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) in documentation to prove number 69+ status
• Avoid common pitfalls like incorrect weight declaration (must be ≤200 g/m² post-sizing removal) by submitting grammage certificates
