Import Tips

• Verify staple length documentation to ensure compliance with U.S. cotton import quotas under 5201 notes, as processed fibers derive from raw cotton limits

• Obtain certificates confirming carding/combing processes and no spinning to avoid reclassification as yarn under 5205-5206

• Check origin-specific quantitative restrictions; non-WTO countries may face exclusions per additional U.S. notes
