Import Tips & Compliance
• Include cotton staple length certification (e.g
• Egyptian Giza 45) to support combed fiber claims and quota eligibility
• Ensure yarn is shipped in industrial cones/beams, not consumer skeins, with commercial invoices stating 'not for retail sale'
• Conduct decitex testing per single yarn strands before folding to avoid misclassification into coarser subheadings
