Import Tips
• Lab certification of fiber content mandatory; viscose-cotton blends often scrutinized for exact percentages
• Specify 'not sewing thread' on documentation; fine cabled yarns sometimes misclassified as 5204
• Check country-specific cotton quotas affecting uncombed fiber content regardless of blend
