Import Tips

Verify yarn number using official nm calculation (meters/kg ÷ 1000 × plies) to confirm 43-52 nm per single yarn, as fractions are disregarded

Provide mill test certificates proving ≥85% cotton content and uncombed status; subject to staple length quotas under U.S. notes

Ensure not 'put up for retail sale' (e.g

no consumer packaging) to avoid reclassification; common pitfall is insufficient documentation
