Import Tips & Compliance

Verify yarn metric number using official nm calculation (meters/kg /1000) to confirm 5205.27 range; provide lab test reports if challenged by CBP

Ensure documentation proves >85% cotton content via invoices and mill certificates; watch for quotas on certain cotton origins

Avoid retail packaging to prevent reclassification; common pitfall is insufficient proof of combed fibers
