Import Tips
• Remove excessive sizing via boiling test per US notes before weighing for accurate nm calculation
• Declare as 'not put up for retail sale' with photos of bulk packaging to distinguish from 5207 retail yarns
• Check country-specific quotas in US notes, as non-WTO origins may be excluded from certain cotton entries
