Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify exact cotton content via lab testing as blends under 85% cotton determine Chapter 52 classification; provide mill test certificates
• Confirm nm fineness using official formula (meters/kg ÷ 1000) and ensure combed fiber processing documentation
• Avoid retail packaging to prevent reclassification; declare as industrial yarn with end-use statements
