Import Tips
• Verify exact cotton-polyester blend via lab testing; documentation must prove <85% cotton to avoid reclassification
• Confirm nm count using official formula (meters/kg ÷1000); exceeding 80nm required for this subheading
• Not for retail sale—ensure commercial packaging; bulk spools only to prevent Chapter 55 synthetic yarn shifts
