Import Tips

Verify yarn number using official nm calculation (meters/kg ÷ 1000 × single yarns) after removing sizing, as per U.S. notes, to confirm 52-80 nm range

Provide lab test reports certifying ≥85% cotton content and uncombed fiber status to avoid reclassification to combed yarns

Monitor quantitative limits on raw cotton imports; ensure origin documentation for non-WTO countries to comply with entry restrictions
