Import Tips
• Verify staple length certification exceeding 34.925 mm to avoid reclassification to quota-limited 5201.00.60
• Provide ginning certificates and origin documentation; WTO member countries exempt from certain restrictions
• Avoid Mexican origin as prohibited; common pitfall is mislabeling as carded cotton under Chapter 52 headings
