Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm less than 85% cotton and provide certificates for customs
• Calculate average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g
• BT/Z) after removing sizing; retain documentation
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring weight is documented as imported, under 200 g/m²
