Import Tips
• Verify exact yarn number using the nm formula (meters per kg / 1000 x single strands) as per US notes to avoid misclassification
• Provide lab test reports confirming <85% cotton content and uncombed status to prevent reclassification to pure cotton headings
• Check quantitative restrictions on cotton fiber imports from non-WTO countries, even for blended yarns
