Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton and MMF mix; provide mill test certificate
• Measure yarn number using official formula (N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing; declare accurately
• Include certification for printed finish and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification to higher duties
