Import Tips & Compliance
• Document exact ply structure and single yarn nm via lab testing; U.S. notes specify formulas like N = BYT/1,000 for average yarn number
• Check origin-specific quotas for uncombed cotton under 5201 notes, as this yarn derives from restricted staple lengths
• Avoid common error of declaring as sewing thread, which requires 5204; ensure commercial invoices specify 'not for retail'
