Import Tips
• Use ST/10 or BT/Z formulas from notes for multi-fold yarns; provide calculation worksheet to CBP for smooth entry
• Certify Pima staple length (typically >1-3/8 inches) against 5201 quotas; Mexico-origin exempt but declare accurately
• Ensure no dyeing or finishing that could classify as processed yarn under other headings; raw bulk only
