Import Tips

• Verify exact cotton content via lab testing as required for Chapter 52 classification; blends under 85% shift from pure cotton headings

• Provide nm calculation documentation using US note formula (actual meters/kg divided by 1,000) to confirm 14-43 nm range

• Ensure no retail packaging to avoid reclassification under heading 5206 put-up provisions; common pitfall is insufficient fiber origin certificates
