Import Tips
• Verify origin certificates as non-WTO countries may face quota restrictions on cotton waste entries
• Provide documentation proving garnetting process to distinguish from raw cotton under Chapter 52 quotas
• Inspect for contamination; clean garnetted stock avoids reclassification as mixed textile waste
