Import Tips

• Verify product eligibility against Additional U.S

• Note 10; quota is only 2,500 kg annually from September 11 to September 10, excluding Mexico

• Provide documentation certifying fibers are processed but not spun, with staple length details to avoid misclassification

• Note non-WTO countries are excluded from quota; monitor annual limits to prevent over-entry penalties
