Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify nm count using official formula (actual meters/kg ÷ 1000 × strands) to confirm <83.33 decitex per single yarn for accurate classification
• Provide lab test reports certifying ≥85% cotton content and combed fiber processing to avoid reclassification as carded yarn
• Monitor U.S. cotton yarn quotas and ensure supplier documentation confirms not put up for retail sale to prevent duty escalations
