Import Tips
• Pre-secure quota allocation through U.S
• Customs license system due to high-demand Chinese quota
• Document exact staple length via independent testing to avoid disputes over 28.575 mm threshold
• Beware of blending with longer-staple cottons, which requires separate entry under different subheadings
