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
