Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using official nm calculation (meters/kg ÷ 1000 × single strands) after removing sizing, as per US notes, to confirm 52-80 nm range
• Provide mill test certificates proving ≥85% cotton content and combed processing to avoid reclassification
• Monitor quantitative import limits on raw cotton inputs; ensure supplier documentation traces to WTO member countries
