Import Tips
• Verify nm count via official formula (meters/kg ÷1000 × strands) and provide lab test certificates to CBP for classification
• Ensure documentation proves ≥85% cotton content and combed processing; subject to cotton yarn quotas by country
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as multiple yarn, which shifts to 5205.41+; declare staple length if applicable
