Import Tips

• Provide spinning mill certification specifying ring-spun process and cabled construction to prevent misclassification as single yarn

• Conduct fiber analysis to confirm combed status and cotton purity; retain records for CBP audits on yarn metrics

• Label cones with technical specs (nm count, fold count) but avoid consumer packaging to maintain industrial classification
