Import Tips

• Verify single yarn decitex (83.33-106.38) using nm formula from US notes; test after desizing if needed to confirm classification

• Provide mill certificates proving combed fibers and cotton content >85%; subject to yarn quotas under US notes

• Avoid retail packaging to prevent reclassification; common pitfall is incorrect nm calculation for folded yarns
