Import Tips
• Obtain government certification for Pima staple length (>34.925 mm) to support classification; include fiber origin docs for quota compliance
• Label as 'not put up for retail sale' explicitly; bulk spools over 1 kg avoid retail headings
• Test for ring spinning vs open-end to prevent reclassification; common pitfall is incorrect nm calculation ignoring folded strands
