Import Tips
• Conduct yarn number testing post-sizing removal (boil-off method) to confirm '314' statistical suffix eligibility
• Avoid common pitfall of over 200 g/m² weight leading to 5310+ classifications; weigh samples accurately
• Declare origin clearly, as cotton quotas apply (e.g
• 5201 limits) impacting blended or raw material traceability
