Import Tips
• Verify nm count using official formula (meters/kg ÷ 1000) as per US notes to confirm <83.33 decitex classification
• Provide mill certificates proving combed fibers and ring spinning process to avoid misclassification as rotor spun
• Monitor quantitative restrictions on cotton inputs; ensure origin documentation for non-WTO countries
