Import Tips
• Core-spun requires cross-section analysis to prove cotton <85% overall weight, preventing disputes
• Label spools clearly with nm count and blend; CBP may test for spandex elasticity affecting classification
• Monitor updates to US notes on yarn measurement—use BYT/1000 formula for width-based verification
