Import Tips

• Include staple length documentation for Pima (typically >34.925mm) to support quality claims during customs review

• Label cones clearly as 'industrial use only' to distinguish from retail packaging under U.S. notes

• Watch for blending below 85% cotton threshold, which shifts to 5207 multi-fiber yarn headings
