Import Tips
• Verify weave type and thread count (≥326 warp ends/100mm) via lab testing to confirm sateen classification under subheading notes
• Provide detailed yarn number calculations per US Note (b) using fabric weight and dimensions for accurate average yarn number declaration
• Ensure no bleaching or dyeing has occurred; residual natural cotton oils are acceptable but document production process to avoid misclassification
