Import Tips
• Verify nm count using US note formula (actual meters/kg ÷ 1000 × single yarns) with lab testing to confirm 43-52 nm range and <85% cotton via fiber analysis
• Provide mill certificates documenting uncombed fiber processing and non-retail cone packaging to avoid reclassification
• Monitor cotton yarn quotas if blended with high-staple cotton; declare exact composition to prevent 5205 misclassification
