Import Tips
• Supima requires US-grown certification; attach affidavits to avoid staple length disputes under 5201 notes
• Measure yarn post-scouring for nm; excessive sizing invalidates weight per US note
• Bulk import only—retail skeins trigger 5207; pitfall is undervaluing folded yarn complexity
