Import Tips
• Conduct AATCC fiber content tests pre-shipment to prove <85% cotton; mismatches lead to CBP reclassification and penalties
• Label cones clearly as 'not for retail sale' with yarn number declaration using official nm formula to support 5206 entry
• Avoid quota issues by sourcing uncombed upland cotton not subject to 5201 quantitative limits
