Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the yarn is single (not twisted with another yarn) and combed; open-end spun yarns can be combed if the fibres are combed before spinning
• Keep records of the metric count and blend ratio, as CBSA may verify the cotton content is below 85%
• Ensure the spools exceed 125 g to avoid retail-sale classification
