Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify nm count using official formula (actual meters per kg / 1000 x single yarns) and provide lab test reports for fiber content >85% cotton
• Ensure documentation confirms ring spinning and combed fibers; common pitfall is misclassifying as open-end spun
• Not for retail sale—ship in bulk cones or beams; quota checks may apply based on cotton origin
