Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'combed fibers, not spun' with processing certificates to prevent customs disputes over yarn classification
• Monitor aggregate quota limits from U.S. notes, especially for origins like India/Pakistan with allocated shares
• Test fiber 'nm' equivalent if needed for downstream yarn compliance, though not spun
