Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify nm count using official formula (actual meters/kg / 1000) with lab testing, as fractions are disregarded per U.S. notes
• Provide mill certificates confirming >85% cotton content, combed fibers, and ring spinning to avoid reclassification
• Monitor quantitative limits on raw cotton inputs; ensure origin docs for non-WTO countries to prevent entry denial
