Import Tips
• Provide origin-specific staple length docs for Egyptian cotton to support quota compliance under US Notes for 5201 raw cotton
• Conduct independent yarn number testing post-sizing removal; fractions disregarded per US Note formula (e.g
• BT/Z)
• Label cones clearly as industrial yarn to prevent reclassification as retail under 5205.40+
