Import Tips
• Verify nm count using official formula (actual meters/kg ÷ 1000 × single yarns) from Chapter 52 US notes to confirm 43-52 nm range and avoid misclassification
• Provide lab test reports certifying ≥85% cotton content and combed fibers; ensure no retail packaging to stay out of 5205.4x retail subheadings
• Check origin quotas under 5201 notes if derived from restricted staple cotton; common pitfall is incorrect single yarn measurement for folded yarns
