Import Tips

Verify yarn metric number using official formula (nm = meters/kg / 1000) to confirm 94-120 range; provide lab test reports if challenged by CBP

Include certificate of combed fibers and ring spinning process; ensure documentation shows not put up for retail sale to avoid reclassification

Be aware of cotton yarn quotas under U.S. notes; track entry periods (e.g

September-September) and country-specific allocations
