Import Tips

• Verify average yarn number using HTS formula (N = BYT/1,000) after removing sizing to confirm 314 classification

• Provide mill test certificate for weight (<200 g/m²) and print process to avoid reclassification as unprinted

• Ensure country of origin documentation complies with cotton import quotas if applicable
