Import Tips

Verify yarn number using official nm formula (meters/kg /1000) and provide lab test reports confirming 85%+ cotton content and ring spinning

Check quantitative restrictions on cotton inputs; ensure supplier certification for combed fibers and non-retail packaging to avoid reclassification
