Import Tips
• Include staple length documentation (e.g
• Egyptian Giza cotton >34.925mm) to support quota eligibility under US notes for longer cottons
• Label cones clearly with yarn number, ply, and spinning method to facilitate CBP verification against HTS metric specifications
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as single yarn; specify 'multiple (folded)' in entry docs for accurate 5205.48 classification
