Import Tips
• Label cones clearly with yarn specs, origin, and 'not for retail sale' to prevent misclassification as retail put-up yarn
• Conduct lab testing for average yarn number per US note formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) post-sizing removal to support entry
• Monitor cotton import quotas in related 5201 subheadings, as they may impact supply chain for uncombed fiber yarns
