Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing as blends under 85% cotton determine chapter 52 classification
• Provide mill certificates confirming Nm measurement per US note formula for single yarns in multiple structure
• Avoid misclassification as sewing thread (5204) by ensuring not put up for retail sale
