Import Tips

Verify nm count using official formula (actual meters per kg / 1000 x single yarns) and provide lab test reports to CBP for classification

Ensure certificate of origin for quota compliance, as upland cotton yarns may face quantitative restrictions from non-WTO countries

Avoid retail packaging to prevent reclassification; ship in bulk cones or beams for industrial use only
