Import Tips
• Include fiber origin certification if claiming Egyptian cotton, as staple length affects quota notes under 5201 but verifies quality for yarn class
• Use boiling or desizing process for accurate weight in nm calculation, disregarding fractions as per U.S. fabric/yarn notes
• Beware blending pitfalls; test must confirm >=85% cotton or reclassify to synthetic chapters
