Import Tips
• Verify average yarn number using Chapter 52 US Note (a) formulas like N = BYT/1,000 to confirm 315 classification; provide lab test reports if challenged
• Ensure fabric weight documentation post-sizing removal; common pitfall is misstating g/m² leading to reclassification
• Label fiber content accurately as 100% cotton; quota restrictions may apply based on origin per additional US notes
