Import Tips

Verify exact fiber content via lab testing as blends under 85% cotton must be precisely documented to avoid reclassification

Provide mill certificates confirming uncombed fibers and single yarn nm exceeding 80 to meet subheading criteria

Ensure yarn is not packaged for retail sale; bulk spools only to prevent shift to Chapter 55 or retail headings
