Import Tips
• Verify nm count using US note formula (actual meters/kg divided by 1,000, multiplied by single yarns) and provide lab test reports for fiber content >85% cotton
• Check quantitative restrictions on raw cotton imports; ensure origin complies with WTO member quotas if applicable
• Label shipments clearly as industrial yarn, not sewing thread, to avoid misclassification; include certificate of combed fibers
