Import Tips

Verify yarn number using the nm formula from US notes (meters per kg / 1000 x single strands) to confirm 43-52 nm range for accurate classification

Provide mill test certificates documenting fiber content (>85% cotton), uncombed status, unbleached condition, and no mercerization to avoid reclassification

Enter during open quota periods per US notes; non-WTO countries may face restrictions on related cotton products
