Import Tips
• Include staple length certification (Pima typically >34.925 mm) but note quotas under 5201.00.60 may indirectly affect supply chain
• Use boiling or desizing to accurately measure weight for nm calculation per US note formulas (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000)
• Declare as 'not sewing thread' with end-use statement to prevent misclassification
