Import Tips
• Ensure supplier provides certification of 'unbleached' status and no mercerization treatment, as these affect duty rates
• Use proper SIC codes for textile yarns and declare total single yarn count per US note for nm verification
• Avoid common pitfall of entering during closed quota windows for raw cotton, which could delay related fiber approvals
