Import Tips
• Verify exact cotton content via lab testing to confirm less than 85% and avoid reclassification to pure cotton headings like 5205
• Calculate nm precisely using U.S. note formulas (actual meters/kg divided by 1,000) and provide documentation to Customs
• Ensure yarn is not put up for retail sale (e.g
• no consumer packaging) to qualify under this industrial code
