Import Tips

Document exact yarn construction (e.g

24/3) and nm calculation per US note to avoid disputes on single yarn fineness

Check quota allocations by country (e.g

India/Pakistan aggregate limits); use licensed customs brokers for high-volume shipments

Ensure no sewing thread characteristics like high twist; misclassification as 5204 leads to penalties
