Import Tips
• Calculate nm precisely using US note formula (actual meters per kg / 1000 x single yarns) to confirm ≤14 nm; fractions disregarded
• Provide lab certification of ≥85% cotton content and uncombed status to avoid reclassification as combed yarn
• Avoid retail packaging; ship in bulk cones or beams for industrial use to prevent duty shifts to Chapter 52 retail provisions
