Import Tips
• Verify nm count using US note formula (actual meters/kg ÷1000 × single yarns) and provide lab test certificates for fiber content >85% cotton
• Ensure no retail packaging; bulk spools or cones only to avoid reclassification under retail headings
• Check quantitative restrictions on raw cotton inputs; obtain origin certificates for non-WTO countries
