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
