Import Tips

Verify exact yarn number using official nm calculation (meters/kg divided by 1,000) as per US notes to confirm >80 nm classification

Provide lab test reports certifying <85% cotton content and combed fibers to avoid reclassification to pure cotton headings

Monitor cotton import quotas indirectly affecting blended yarns; ensure supplier provides country-of-origin certification
