Import Tips

• Check US cotton import quotas for Egypt (part of aggregate limits); exceedance leads to higher duties or denial

• Provide mill certificates for combing verification and nm calculation using BYT/1000 formula post-sizing removal

• Label shipments clearly as 'not for retail' to prevent reclassification; common error is undeclared admixtures
