Import Tips
• Verify yarn metric number using official nm calculation (meters/kg /1000 x strands) to confirm <83.33 decitex classification
• Provide mill test certificates documenting fiber content (>85% cotton) and combed processing to avoid reclassification
• Ensure not 'put up for retail sale' (e.g
• no consumer packaging) to prevent shift to Chapter 55 headings
