Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton mixed mainly with MMF; provide detailed composition certificates
• Calculate average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• N=BYT/1,000) after removing sizing, ensuring 43-68 range
• Avoid misclassification as 100% cotton (5208) by documenting MMF blend; declare weight accurately per m²
