Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify yarn number using official nm calculation (meters/kg /1000 x singles) and provide lab test reports confirming compact ring spinning and combed fibers
• Ensure documentation proves >85% cotton content via invoices and mill certificates to avoid reclassification to lower cotton blends
• Be aware of U.S. quota restrictions on certain cotton products; confirm origin eligibility as non-WTO countries may face limitations
