Import Tips
• Use formulas from U.S. notes (e.g
• N = BYT/1,000) for average yarn number verification during customs exam
• Segregate from combed lots; contamination risks reclassification and higher duties
• Check country-specific quotas if staple <1-3/8 inches, as raw cotton limits impact yarn sourcing
