Import Tips
• Verify yarn fineness using the 'nm' metric (meters per kg /1000) as per US notes to confirm 94-120 range for accurate classification
• Provide mill test certificates showing combed fibers and cotton content >85% to avoid reclassification as carded yarn
• Ensure no retail packaging; bulk spools only, as retail puts it under heading 5205 subheadings for consumer packs
