Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis per US Note definitions to document exact cotton percentage below 85%
• Measure nm precisely using imported fabric weight after desizing, avoiding common pitfall of overestimating count
• Declare as industrial yarn only; adding consumer labels risks retail classification and higher duties
