Import Tips
• Label cones with exact nm value and blend %; CBP may test random samples against declared 52-80 nm range
• Avoid quota issues by confirming origin—non-WTO countries restricted on certain cotton inputs per US notes
• Supply affidavits proving combed-only fibers; carded blends would fall outside 5206 combed provisions
