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
