Import Tips
• Verify nm count using official formula (actual meters/kg divided by 1,000, multiplied by single yarns) and provide lab test certificates to CBP for classification
• Ensure documentation proves combed fibers and >=85% cotton content; subject to cotton yarn quotas if from non-WTO countries
• Avoid retail packaging to prevent reclassification; common pitfall is incorrect fiber purity declaration leading to penalties
