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
