Import Tips
• Check Egypt's quota allocation under 5201 notes for upstream cotton impacting yarn pricing/availability
• Provide fiber content lab analysis; Egyptian cotton must meet combed purity to avoid 5204 carded classification
• Avoid excessive sizing on import; US notes require desizing for accurate yarn number determination
