Import Tips
• Provide fiber length documentation proving staple meets combed quality; Pima cotton often scrutinized for origin claims
• Ensure yarn is declared as 'not put up for retail sale' with commercial packaging evidence to prevent duty upgrades
• Avoid pitfalls by confirming ring spinning via twist direction tests; incorrect spinning method reclassifies to higher duty codes
