Import Tips

• Verify fabric weight ≤200 g/m² via lab test (Z' grams/m²) and confirm unbleached status with no chemical processing beyond scouring

• Calculate average yarn number using HTS formulas (e.g

• N = BYT/1,000) from import samples to avoid reclassification

• Provide mill test certificate for fiber content (≥85% cotton) and weave type to prevent common pitfalls like mislabeling as bleached
