Import Tips
• Document yarn number (nm) per US notes if disputed; use formulas for average yarn count in tariff classification
• Avoid common pitfall of mixed lots with lower cotton %; segregate shipments for accurate entry
• Obtain origin certificates to bypass WTO-nonmember quota restrictions on raw cotton components
