Import Tips

Verify exact fiber content via lab test; must be <85% cotton to avoid Chapter 52 pure cotton headings

Include nm calculation documentation using US note formulas (e.g

actual meters/kg ÷1000) to confirm 52-80 nm range

Check origin quotas for uncombed cotton yarns; non-WTO countries may face restrictions on related raw materials
