Import Tips
• Include detailed yarn number certification using BT/Z formula from US notes to prove compliance with 14-43 nm limits
• Label as 'not for retail sale' on invoices; bulk spools over 1kg prevent retail classification pitfalls
• Check origin quotas if cotton staple exceeds limits in US notes for blended inputs, even if final yarn is mixed
