Import Tips

• Verify yarn number using official nm formula (meters/kg divided by 1,000) and provide lab test reports confirming 85%+ cotton content and ring spinning

• Check U.S. cotton yarn quotas if applicable; ensure documentation proves non-retail packaging (e.g

• cones over 1 kg)

• Avoid misclassification by confirming combed fibers via fiber length tests; common pitfall is confusing with carded yarns under 5205.21
