Import Tips & Compliance

Document staple length and combing process; Pima often exceeds quotas—check US notes for country-specific limits

Use official yarn number calculation (BYT/1000 formula) on invoices; test for excessive sizing removal as per notes

Ensure no retail labeling; common pitfall is misdeclaring as finer yarn, triggering penalties
