Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact Nm calculation per US Note using actual meters/kg divided by 1,000 and multiplied by single yarns to ensure ≤14 nm per single yarn

Provide mill certificates confirming combed fibers, ring spinning (301), and >85% cotton content to avoid reclassification

Monitor quantitative limits on raw cotton inputs; ensure origin complies with WTO rules to prevent entry denial
