Import Tips

• Verify the exact nm measurement using the official formula (meters per kg / 1000 x singles) to confirm it does not exceed 102 nm, as exceeding would shift to a different subheading

• Provide mill test certificates confirming combed fibers, compact ring spinning, and cotton content over 85% to avoid reclassification during customs exam

• Be aware of cotton yarn import quotas under Chapter 52 notes; ensure origin complies with WTO limits to prevent entry denial
