Import Tips

• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm under 85% cotton; discrepancies can lead to reclassification

• Provide manufacturer's yarn number certification using nm formula from US notes to avoid customs disputes

• Ensure no retail packaging; bulk spools only, as retail puts it under different headings
