Import Tips
• 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
