Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using official nm calculation (meters/kg ÷1000 × single yarns) per US Note, providing lab test reports to CBP
• Ensure certificate of combed fibers and ≥85% cotton content; declare exact nm to avoid misclassification into adjacent subheadings
• Avoid retail packaging; ship in bulk cones or beams to qualify under this heading—common pitfall is incidental consumer labeling
