Import Tips & Compliance

Document end-use as knitting/weaving (not sewing) to distinguish from Chapter 52 sewing thread exclusions

Use certified lab for fiber content (>85%) and nm verification—CBP often tests high-value cottons

Ensure spools exceed industrial minimums (e.g

>5 kg) to affirm non-retail status
