Import Tips

Verify yarn number using official nm formula (meters/kg / 1000) to confirm 52-80 nm range; fractions disregarded per US notes

Provide lab certification for >=85% cotton content and uncombed fiber status to avoid reclassification to combed yarns

Ensure not put up for retail sale (e.g

no consumer packaging) to prevent shift to Chapter 52 retail provisions
