Import Tips
• Document yarn as 'not put up for retail sale' with bulk packaging evidence to stay in 5205 rather than retail headings
• Comply with US cotton quota notes by specifying country of origin and staple length under relevant limitations
• Test for mercerization (no caustic soda treatment) to prevent misclassification into mercerized subheadings
