Import Tips

• Include GOTS or organic certification documentation; CBP may require proof of organic cotton origin

• Label skeins/balls clearly with yarn number (nm), fiber content, and 'for retail sale' to prevent reclassification

• Avoid exceeding 5kg per package to maintain retail status; larger hanks go to industrial headings
