Import Tips

• Label shipments clearly as 'combed yarn for industrial use' to prevent confusion with retail or carded categories

• Retain scouring and combing process certificates to validate clean yield calculations under US note (b)

• Monitor vegetable matter content during entry, as allowances up to 15% affect the clean kg duty basis
