Import Tips

• Verify nm count per single yarn using official formula (meters/kg ÷1000 × singles) to confirm ≤14 nm; provide lab test reports if challenged by CBP

• Include country-of-origin certificate, as quantitative restrictions apply to non-WTO countries; ensure staple length documentation for raw cotton traceability

• Avoid retail packaging to prevent reclassification; common pitfall is misdeclaring as finer yarn, leading to audits
