Import Tips
• Document fiber blend ratios precisely; blends must be lab-certified to confirm <85% cotton
• Calculate nm accurately using actual meters per kg divided by 1000, as per US notes for Chapter 52
• Ensure no sewing thread features like high twist; industrial bulk packaging prevents retail misclassification
