Import Tips

• Verify fabric weight ≤200 g/m² and calculate average yarn number per US Note (a) using formulas like N = BYT/1,000 to confirm classification

• Provide lab test reports for dye fastness and fiber content (100% cotton) to avoid misclassification as printed (5212.23) or yarn-dyed (5211)

• Check for quantitative restrictions on cotton content if from non-WTO countries; ensure commercial invoice specifies 'poplin or broadcloth'
