Import Tips

Verify yarn number using official nm calculation (meters per kg / 1000) and provide lab test reports confirming combed fibers and 85%+ cotton content

Ensure documentation proves not put up for retail sale (e.g

bulk spools over 1 kg) to avoid reclassification to retail headings

Check origin-specific quantitative restrictions on raw cotton; combed yarn may inherit limitations from upstream 5201 entries
