Import Tips

• 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
