Import Tips
• Use certified lab reports for fiber length and nm calculation to prove staple suitability and fineness compliance
• Declare exact cotton percentage via invoice and lab analysis; imports under 85% shift to blended yarn headings
• Avoid common error of declaring as sewing thread—ensure documentation specifies non-retail weaving yarn
