Import Tips

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
