Import Tips
• Verify yarn number using HTS formula (actual meters/kg divided by 1,000, multiplied by single strands) to confirm ≤14 nm
• Provide lab test reports certifying <85% cotton content and combed fiber processing to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no retail packaging; bulk spools only, as retail puts it under different headings
